Answer:

Distance covered by Joe, d = 5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of Joe, v = 20 km/hour

Time taken by Joe, t = 15 minutes = 0.25 h

We need to find the distance he is covering. It can be calculated using definition of speed as :


v=(d)/(t)


d=v* t


d=20* 0.25

d = 5 km

So, Joe covers a distance of 5 km. Hence, this is the required solution.
