Circle the rate that does not belong with the other three.

- 60 miles/1 hour
- 88 feet/1 second
- 500 feet/1 minute
- 1440 miles/1 day

Answer :

500ft/1minute is the rate do
not belong with the given choices

Why?Because 60mi/hr and 88ft/s
=1440mi/day

=> 60miles/hr

=> in 1 day there’s 24 hours so multiply 60 by 24

=> 60 x 24 = 1440

=> that means 60miles/hr = 1440miles/day


=> 88ft/s

=> 88ft = 0.016667miles

=>There are 60s in 1 minute and 60 minutes in 1 hr. and there are 24hrs in 1
day

=> 60 x 60 x24 = 86400s

=> 0.016667miles x 86400s = 1440

= > 88ft/s = 1440miles/day
