Question

If a kiteboarder sails across the water at 40 km/hr, how far has she traveled in 15 minutes

Answer 1

First take note the kite is traveling at 40 km/hr, but we want to know how far she traveled in 15 minutes.

First divide 60(total minutes in an hour) by 15

60/15=4

Now divide 40 by 4

40/4=10

So she will travel 10 km in 15 minutes.
