Question

What is the speed of a truck that travels 10 km in 10 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 minutes: 10 km

1 minute: 10 ÷ 10 = 1 km

the speed of the truck is 1km/min

Answer 2

Answer:

1 kilometer/minute

Explanation:

If we want to find the speed, we must divide the distance by the time.

$s= \frac {s}{t}$

The truck travels a distance of 10 kilometers in 10 minutes.

$d= 10 km\\t=10 min$

Substitute the values into the formula and divide.

$s=\frac{d}{t}$

$s=\frac{10 km}{10min}$

$s= 1 km/min$

The speed of the truck is 1 kilometer per minute.
