A car travels at a constant rate of 5 meters per second

That means that for every second, the car travels 5 meters.

The Question is asking you for how far the car traveled after 12 seconds. Multiply 12 to top and bottom

5m/1s x 12/12 = 60/12

The car travels 60 meters in 12 seconds

hope this helps
