How many miles do you travel every mintue if you are going 55 mph?

If you're traveling at a constant speed of 55 mph, how long does it take you to travel a mile?|||A little less than one mile per minute - after all, if you were traveling at 60 mph, you would travel 60 miles in 1 hour, or 60 miles in 60 minutes, or 1 mile per minute.





traveling at 55 would be just a bit slower than that.





To be exact - 55 miles in 60 minutes = 27.5 miles in 30 minutes, or 2.75 miles in 3 minutes, or 0.91666 miles in 1 minute.





That's miles per minute - the previous answerer calculated minutes per mile, which is different.|||set it up as a ratio. 1 minute(for one mile at 60 mph)/60 mph = x minute(for one mile at 55mph)/55 mph.


it basically ends up as 60/55 which is equal to roughly 1.09 minutes per mile at 55 mph.|||Miles traveled at 55 MPH is 0.91666666





At constant speed of 55 MPH .... it takes 65.45454546 seconds or 1 min. 5.45454546 seconds to travel one mile.|||55/60 = 0.916 Miles per minute|||55/60=.919999997 miles per minute


60/55= 1.090909091 minutes per mile|||really? this is like elementary math. I think everyone should know that there are 60 minutes in an hour, so if you're going 55 miles in one hour isnt the answer pretty obvious???
