Why is there sixty minutes in a hour?
Because if it were only 30 minutes, it would only be a half hour.
What does an hour so mean?
An hour or an hour and fifteen minutes
Which is correct 'an hour' or 'a hour'?
"An hour" is correct. That is because the "h" is not pronounced, so "hour" starts with a vowel sound.
How long does it take to go 25 miles at 50 miles per hour?
25 minutes ... If you are traveling at 50 MPH, you will travel 50 miles in one hour ... ? ...so to go half that distance, 25 miles, it will only take half that time to travel that distancewhile going 50 mph ... ? ... this is elementary math, people.=====================================That's true. But apparently, the number of minutes in 1 hour isnot so elementary.There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so 1/2 hour = 30 minutes .
If you drive 55 miles an hour for 25 minutes how far do you get?
To figure this out, first figure out the percentage of an hour you are dealing with:25/60 = 0.417 So 25 minutes is approximately 42 percent of an hour.Now if you travel an entire hour at 55 miles per hour, you obviously will travel 55 miles.But if you only travel for 25 minutes of an hour, you will only travel around 42 percent of the 55 miles, so:55 miles x 0.417 = 22.92 miles traveled.
