Answer:

Speed = 39. 0 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A car travels at 65 miles per hour. Going through construction, it travels at 3/5 this speed.

To find : Write this fraction as a decimal and find the speed.

Solution : We have given

A car travels in 1 hour = 65 miles .

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$ .

Speed = $\frac{65}{1}$

Speed = 65 miles per hour .

According to question :

It travel $\frac{3}{5}$ of the speed.

To convert fraction in to decimal .

$\frac{3}{5}$ = 0.6

So, it travel 0.6 of speed .

Speed = 0.6 * 65 .

Speed = 39. 0 miles per hour.

Therefore, Speed = 39. 0 miles per hour.
