Answer: a) 3/5 =0.6

b) 3/5 of given speed=39 miles per hour


Step-by-step explanation:

Given :- Speed of a car= 65 miles per hour

Going through construction,it travels at 3/5 this speed.

Now 3/5 of speed =[tex]\frac{3}{5}\times65\text{ miles per hour}\\=0.6\times65\text{ miles per hour}..........\text{[Convert 3/5 in decimal by dividing 3 with 5]}\\=39\text{ miles per hour}[/tex]

Therefore, 3/5 of given speed=39 miles per hour
