    the speed of sound is 12 miles per minute

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To know the speed we have to divide the distance by the time because the speed of sound is constant and we have to use a formula of uniform rectilinear motion

    Uniform rectilinear motion: When an object travels at a constant speed with zero acceleration it is known as uniform rectilinear motion

    The distance it gives us is 1 mile and the time it gives us is 1/12 minute

    v = speed

    v = 1mi / (1/12 m)

    v = 12 mi/m

    in the result as we can see we have a whole number (12)

    the speed of sound is 12 miles per minute
