Question

A car travels at an average speed of 60 km / h for 15 minutes. How far does the car travel in 15 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

15km

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Average speed = 60km/hr

Time taken  = 15min

Unknown:

Distance  = ?

Solution:

The distance traveled can de derived using the expression below;

      Distance  = Average speed x time taken

Now let us convert the time to hr;

              60min = 1hr

              15min = $\frac{15}{60}$   = 0.25hr

Distance  = 60km/hr x 0.25hr  = 15km
