Question

Ami'yan runs every day for exercise at a rate of 1 kilometer every 15 minutes. How many meters does he run in 1 hour? - Thank you in advance

Answer 1

The total distance covered in 1 hour is 4000 meters.

Explanation:

The distance Ami'yan runs is 15 minutes = 1 kilometer

Using the unit formula,

The distance ran in 1 minute =
`((1)/(15) ) \textrm{Kilometer}`

Now, 1 hour = 60 minutes

⇒The distance covered in 60 minutes = 60 x (Distance run in 1 minute)

=
`60 * (1)/(15)    = 4`

So, the distance covered in 1 hour = 4 kilometer

1 kilometer = 1000 meters

⇒ 4 km = 4 x 1000 meters = 4000 m

Hence, the total distance covered in 1 hour = 4000 meters.
