Identify Given Information: Identify the given information and what needs to be calculated.Lindsey's father drives at a speed of 50 miles per hour, and the park is 10 miles away. We need to calculate the time it will take to cover 10 miles at a speed of 50 miles per hour.
Calculate Time in Hours: Calculate the time in hours it would take to travel 10 miles at a speed of 50 miles per hour.Time (in hours) = Distance / SpeedTime = 10 miles / 50 miles per hour
Perform Division: Perform the division to find the time in hours.Time = 5010Time = 51 hours
Convert Time to Minutes: Convert the time from hours to minutes, knowing that 1 hour equals 60 minutes.Time (in minutes) = Time (in hours) ×60 minutes per hourTime (in minutes) = (1/5)×60
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the time in minutes.Time (in minutes) = 51×60Time (in minutes) = 12
