Question

A man paddles his canoe at a rate of 12 kilometers per hour. write this rate as meters per minute

Answer 1

12 kilometers per hour = 200 meters per minute

Step-by-step explanation

In order to convert 12 kilometers per hour into meters per minute, we need to note that

1 kilometer = 1000 meters

1 hour = 60 minutes

`\begin{gathered} 12(kilometers)/(hour) \\ We\text{ ne}ed\text{ to note that } \\ \frac{1000\text{ meters}}{1\text{ kilometers}}=1 \\ \frac{1\text{ hour}}{60\text{ minutes}}=1 \\ 12\frac{\text{kilometers}}{\text{hour}}*1*1 \\ =12\frac{\text{kilometers}}{\text{hour}}*\frac{1000\text{ meters}}{1\text{ kilometer}}*\frac{1\text{ hour}}{60\text{ minutes}} \\ =(12*1000*1)/(1*60)(meters)/(\min ute) \\ =200\frac{\text{meters}}{\text{minute}} \end{gathered}`

Hope this Helps!!!
