    (a) To find the answer to this, we can do 90/60 to get that the ball travels 1.5 miles per minute meaning our answer would be 1.5

    (b) We would need to do 1760 * 1.5 which is 2640 and that is our answer

    (c) 2460/60 which is 41 and that is our answer.

    (d) you would do 41/22 and that is our answer, 41/22 seconds
