Question

A car is traveling at a speed of 72 kilometers per hour. What is the cars speed in kilometers per minute? How many kilometers will the car travel in 10mins?

Answer 1

1.2 kilometers per minute; 12 kilometers

Explanation:

We know that 60 minutes makes 1 hour.

Therefore, to convert the speed to kilometers per minute, we simply divide 72 kilometers per hour by 60 minutes:

72 / 60 = 1.2 kilometers per minute.

Distance is given as speed multiplied by time.

Therefore, in 10 mins, the car travels:

1.2 * 10 = 12 kilometers.
