Answer:

[tex]x = 60[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert from miles per hour to miles per minute we must convert hours to minutes.

We know that in 1 hour there are 60 minutes,

Then we use the following conversion factor. [tex]\frac{1\ hour}{60\ minutes}[/tex]

Finally the expression will be:

[tex]\frac{50\ miles}{1\ hour}*\frac{1\ hour}{60\ minutes}[/tex]

Then notice that:

[tex]x = 60[/tex]

Answer:

x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to convert 50 miles per hour to miles per minute.

Now, we know that 1 hour = 60 minutes

So, we can write

[tex]50mph=\frac{50miles}{1hr}[/tex]

This can be further written as when converted to miles/min.

Use 1 hour = 60 minutes

[tex]50miles/min=\frac{50miles}{1hr}\times\frac{1hr}{60 min}[/tex]

Comparing with the given expression, we get

x = 60
