Question

A cyclist rides her bike at a speed of 27 kilometers per hour. What is this speed in kilometers per minute? How many kilometers will the cyclist travel in 2 minutes? Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

0.45 Km / min and 0.9 Km

note that 1 hour = 60 minutes

divide by 60 to get Km / min

27 Km / hour =
`(27)/(60)` = 0.45 Km / min

distance in 2 minutes = 0.45 × 2 = 0.9 Km
