Question

A car is traveling at a rate of 72 km/h what is the cars right in kilometers per minute how many kilometers will the car travel in five minutes

Answer 1

1 hour =60 minutes

the car goes 72 km/h

so to convert the rate to minutes, you need to divide 72 by 60 (72÷60= 1.2)

the new rate is 1.2 km/min

so to see how far the car goes in 5 minutes times the 1.2 by 5 (1.2×5=6)

the car goes at a rate of 1.2km/min and a total distance of 6km in 5 minutes.
