Question

An athlete can run 9 kilometers in 1 hour. If the athlete runs at that same average speed for 30 minutes, how far will the athlete travel?

A. 18 kilometers

B. 9 kilometers

C. 4.5 kilometers

D. 3.3 kilometers

Answer 1

Answer:C. 4.5 kilometers

Explanation:1 hour = 60 minutes

1 kilometers = 1000m

9 kilometers = 9*1000 = 9000 m

Distance traveled in 60 minutes = 9000 m

Distance traveled in 1 minute = 9000/60

Distance traveled in 30 minutes
