Question

A car is traveling at a speed of 72 kilometers per hour. What is the car's speed in kilometers per minute? How many kilometers will the car travel in 5 minutes? Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.2 kilometers per minute; 6 kilometers in 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the KM per minute, divide the speed per hour (72) by 60 (minutes in one hour)

72/60 = 1.2 KM per minute

To find the KM for 5 minutes, multiply the KM per minute (1.2) times 5 minutes: 1.2*5 = 6 KM
