NO! He teaches TWO things in every lesson. 1) how to solve the answer to THIS problem whatever it is, 2) how to solve ANY PROBLEM that uses this principle. Like I posted the first time someone bitched about this "he wastes my time or stretches things out". GIVE a man a fish (fine) or, TEACH A MAN TO FISH(BETTER!) My Algebra1 teacher used to warn us "don't think you're going to pass this class thinking oh 3X= 6, this is easy" cuz things are gonna get way more complex! and I ended up having to take it again in the summer! I WOULD ADVISE THIS TEACHER TO POST AN EXPLANATION AT THE TOP OF EVERY LESSON "WHY WHAT I DO MAY SEEM LIKE OVEREXPLAINING....BUT ISN'T!

[@IdiotEarthworm]

Don't commit that formula to memory but understand what that formula means and why it is so. Then you don't need to memorize but you can work out this and similar formulas whenever needed. This seems to be unnecessarily complicated video to solve a simple problem. Students are likely to think that this is a very complex problem.

[@devonwilson5776]

Greetings. Wow. This vehicle is absolutely blazing. I can't believe that this vehicle will have traveled approximately 7 miles in 5 minutes. Wow. The answer is determined as follows. We use the formula D = VT where D= distance travelled, V = velocity in MPH, and T = time taken. Now we will convert 5 minutes to hour by dividing 5 by 60 to get the the time of travel. Thereafter, we multiply the conversion rate by the velocity to get (80×5)/60 miles = 400/60 miles = 6.666666 miles, approximately 6.7 miles. This is insanely fast. That is a very far distance to travel in 5 minutes.

The important thing is being aware of units and converting as needed. The rest is "plug and chug". It's similar to "you can't add gallons and pounds". You can add gallons and cups though the answer is hard to conceptualize. It's easier if the units are the same.

Do it in my head. At 60mph we travel 5 miles in 5 mins but at 80 mph we travel another 20mph so every 3mins we travel another mile and in 2mins another 0.66 miles. So 5 plus 1 plus 0.66 = 6.66 So how far in 5 mins at 80 mph = 6.66 miles Easy really. Best computer ever created is human brain!

[@rogerrabbit80]

Likewise, did it in my head. 60mph =1mi/min 20mph = 1/3 mi/min 80mph = 1mi/min + 1/3 mi/min = 1 1/3 mi/min 1 1/3 mi/min * 5 min = 5 5/3 mi = 6 2/3 mi

12 minutes to divide 80 by 12. Time is precious.

[@johnnolen8338]

It's not a mistake, you just have to keep track of the units. Distance = Rate × Time is absolute; therefore, 80 miles/ hr × 5 minutes is a distance. It is exactly 400 mile·minutes/hour. Now if 60 minutes = 1 hour then 1 hour/60 minutes = 1. Hence 400 mile·minutes/hour = 400 mile·minutes/hour × 1hour/60minutes = 40/6 miles = 6 2/3 miles. ◼

[@andrewk-majordochomerepair6014]

Other way to consider it is since 5 is an even multiple of 60 minutes, i.e. 1 hour, then the answer simply is 80/12 -- you're traveling at 80 mph for 1/12 an hour.

The units of speed should be writen as m/h instead of mph. Then 80m/h × 1h/60min × 5min, the h and min units will cancel out and leave behind the units of distance.

The way I solved it was breaking down the number of minutes into something more manageable. I took 60 minutes and divided into 10 minutes then I divided 80 by 6. Then to get it to five minutes I divided 13.333 by 2 getting 6.666 which I rounded up to 6.67.

[@NurseEmilie]

In nursing school to determine doses I learned to do this: 60 minutes: 80 miles = 5 minutes : x 60 X = 400 (80 X 5) Then divide 400 by 60 and you get 6.67 My way is easier to learn. To me learning your way would be too many factors to remember. Sorry.

What??

[@brianroberts5672]

80mph is 20 mph faster than 60mph. 20mph is 1/3 of 60mph. So 80mph = 1 and a third of 60mph. At 60mph you would be traveling 1 mile every minute. At 80mph you would be traveling 1 and a third miles every minute. In 5minutes at 60mph distance travelled = 5 × 1 mile In 5minutes at 80mph distance travelled = 5 × 1 and a third miles = 5 + 5/3 miles = 6 and 2/3 miles =6.667miles

[@qsquared8833]

Going to reason it out as thus: 60 MPH = 1 MPM 20 MPH = 1/3 MPM 80 MPM = 1 and 1/3 MPM = 4/3 MPM 5* 4 = 20 20/3 = 6 and 2/3 miles Alternatively: 80/60 * 5 4/3 * 5 20/3 5 and 2/3 miles

You have to convert time units to the same unit. Either convert hours to minutes (60) or minutes to hours (a minute is 0.0667 hours). 80 miles divided by 60 minutes equals 1.3333 miles per minute times 5 equals 6.6667 miles traveled in 5 minutes (assuming no impromptu roadside meetings with a State Trooper).
