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

15km

Step-by-step 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 =
`(15)/(60)` = 0.25hr

Distance = 60km/hr x 0.25hr = 15km
