Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are converting50 miles per hour to miles per minute. . We know that1 hour is equal to60 minutes.

STEP 2

We can start by writing down the conversion expression given in the problem.
50 miles 1 hour ×1 hour  minutes \frac{50 \text { miles }}{1 \text { hour }} \times \frac{1 \text { hour }}{\square \text { minutes }}

STEP 3

We know that1 hour is equal to60 minutes, so we can replace the hour in the second fraction with its equivalent in minutes.
50 miles 1 hour ×1 hour 60 minutes \frac{50 \text { miles }}{1 \text { hour }} \times \frac{1 \text { hour }}{60 \text { minutes }}

STEP 4

Now, we can simplify the expression. The "hour" units cancel out, leaving us with a conversion from miles to minutes.
50 miles 60 minutes \frac{50 \text { miles }}{60 \text { minutes }}

STEP 5

Therefore, the value that can be entered in the box to correctly make this conversion is60.
The correct answer is60.
