Answer: [tex]2\ minutes[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
[tex]d=rt[/tex]
Where "d" is distance, "r" is rate and "t" is time.
Solved for the time "t":
[tex]t=\frac{d}{r}[/tex]
The first step is to convert the distance from miles to feet.
Since [tex]1\ mile=5,280\ feet[/tex], we get:
[tex]d=(0.2\ mi)(\frac{5,280\ ft}{1\ mi})\\\\d=1,056\ ft[/tex]
Knowing that:
[tex]r=8.8\ \frac{ft}{s}[/tex]
We can substitute values into [tex]t=\frac{d}{r}[/tex] in order to find the time in seconds:
[tex]t=\frac{1,056\ ft}{8.8\ \frac{ft}{s}}\\\\t=120\ s[/tex]
Since:
[tex]1\ minute = 60\ seconds[/tex]
The time in minutes is:
[tex]t=(120\ s)(\frac{1\ min}{60\ s})\\\\t=2\ min[/tex]
