Question

How far can a person run in 15 minutes if he or she runs at an average speed of 16 km/hr? (Convert minutes into hours)

Answer 1

Answer:

The person can run 4 km in 15 minutes.

2.5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the distance covered by a man in 15 minutes at a speed of 16 km/hr.

$\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}$

1 minute = 1/60 hour

15 minutes = 15/60 hour.

$\text{Distance}=\frac{16\text{ km}}{\text{ hr}}\times \frac{15}{60}\text{ Hours}$

$\text{Distance}=16\text{ km}\times \frac{1}{4}$

$\text{Distance}=4\text{ km}$

Therefore, the person can run 4 km in 15 minutes.

1 km = 0.621371 miles

$4\text{ km}=4\times 0.621371\text{ miles}$

$4\text{ km}=2.485484\text{ miles}$

$4\text{ km}\approx 2.5\text{ miles}$

Therefore, the runner's distance traveled in miles would be approximately  2.5 miles.

Answer 2

60/15 is 4
16/4 is 4
in 15 minutes, he or she runs 4km
4 times .621 is about 2.5 miles
hope this helps:)
