Question

Calculate the speed traveled for each situation below and then put them in

Answer 1

Put them in  order from least to greatest

Moving 12 km in 40  minutes = 0.3 km/min

Moving 6 km in 15 minutes = 0.4 km/min

Moving 10 km in 20  minutes = 0.5 km/min

Moving 18 km in 30  minutes = 0.6 km/min

Solution:

The speed is given by formula:

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Moving 12 km in 40  minutes

$speed = \frac{12}{40} = 0.3\ km/min$

Moving 18 km in 30  minutes

$speed = \frac{18}{30} = 0.6\ km/min$

Moving 6 km in 15 minutes

$speed = \frac{6}{15} = 0.4\ km/min$

Moving 10 km in 20  minutes

$speed = \frac{10}{20} = 0.5\ km/min$

Put them in  order from least to greatest

Moving 12 km in 40  minutes = 0.3 km/min

Moving 6 km in 15 minutes = 0.4 km/min

Moving 10 km in 20  minutes = 0.5 km/min

Moving 18 km in 30  minutes = 0.6 km/min
