03_SampleC_Program

The document provides a C program that calculates the time in minutes for a car to travel a given distance in meters at a specified speed in miles per hour. It prompts the user for input, converts the distance to miles, calculates the time in hours, and then converts that time to minutes for output. Two versions of the program are included, both achieving the same result.
