you need to use hours to make it easy to convert to m/s. Change 15 minutes to hours

Note distance is in km so change the time to hours to get km/hour

1 hour = 60mins so 15 minutes will be 0.25 hours

10/0.25 = 40 km/ hour

To change that to m/second, change km to meters and hour to second

it will be (40x1000) meters /3600seconds

11.1111 m/s

1).  You're always free to use whatever units you like at the moment. Just be sure to include the units in your answer.  

BUT ... If the question TELLS you what the units of your answer should be, then that's the units your answer must have.

That's what you've got here.  The question said "calculate the average speed in Km h-1."  That's just a fancy way to write ' km/hour '.  So there's the units of your answer.  The data given is in minutes, so you'll need to do some work to get the answer in km/hour .

The equation for speed is  

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance"

When you plug a number into that equation, keep the units hooked to it, and keep the units all the way through your work.

Speed = (10 km) / (15 minutes)

Speed = (10/15) (km/minutes)

<em>Speed = 2/3 km/min</em>

There's the speed.  But the units are not what the question wants to see.  You <u><em>could</em></u> convert the units into miles per hour, feet per second, smoots per day, furlongs per fortnight, or nano-inches per eon.  But you're smart enough to know that you won't get any credit for the answer if it doesn't have the units that the question commanded you to use.  So you have to convert the 'km/min' into 'km/hour'.

Just multiply your answer by (60min / hour) .  That fraction is equal to ' 1 ', because the numerator and denominator are equal, so it won't CHANGE your answer by mutiplying.  But you WILL convert the <em>units</em> of the answer.

Speed = (2/3 km/min) x (60 min/hour)

Speed = (2/3 x 60) x (km/min x min/hr)

Speed = (2/3 x 60) x (km/hr)

<em>Speed = 40 km/hr .</em>
