  2. At the given rate the sneeze can travel 62000 miles in one minute

    How to determine the distance in 1 minute?

    The statement is given as:
    The average sneeze can travel 3100 miles in 3 seconds.
    This implies that:
    Speed = 3100 miles/3 seconds
    Convert seconds to minute
    Speed = 3100 miles/(1/20) minute
    Evaluate the quotient
    Speed = 62000 miles per minute
    Hence, at the given rate the sneeze can travel 62000 miles in one minute
