Answer: 0.01 km

=================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

1 minute = 60 seconds

10 minutes = 600 seconds (multiply both sides by 10)

The bus travels 6 km in 600 seconds

We can set up this ratio

6 km: 600 seconds

Divide both parts by 600 so that the "600 seconds" turns into "1 second"

6 km: 600 seconds

6/600 km: 600/600 seconds

1/100 km: 1 second

0.01 km: 1 second

1 second: 0.01 km

In one second, the bus travels 0.01 km which is equivalent to 10 meters. The measure of 10 meters is roughly eqiuvalent to 32.81 feet.
