Question

How far can a person travel in 62 minutes, walking at a speed of 1.5 km/h. Please uses sig.figs. and convert to meters.

Answer 1

As we are given with

A person walking at a speed of 1.5 km/h

Given time is 62 minutes, it can be converted to hour as below

$62 \ \ minutes \ =\frac{62}{60}= \frac{31}{30} \ Hour$

So the distance traveled can find as below:

$Distance=Speed*Time\\ \\ Distance=1.5km/hr*\frac{31}{30}hr\\ \\ Distance=\frac{46.5}{30} =1.55km$

Hence the distance traveled in meter can be written as

$Distance=1.55*1000\\ \\ Distance=1550m$
