Ichard walks every day for exercise at a rate of 1 kilometer every 15 minutes.
At this rate, how many meters can Richard walk in 1 hour?
Complete the explanation about how you found your answer.
Richard can walk
meters.
Since there are
minutes in 1 hour, you would divide 60 ÷ 15 =
.
Then you would multiply 1 × 4 =
to find out how many kilometers Richard walks in 1 hour.
Since there are
meters in 1 kilometer,
you would multiply 4 × 1,000 =
to convert to meters.
Suppose Richard walks 1 kilometer every 12 minutes.
How many meters further can he walk in 1 hour at this new rate?
Complete the explanation about how you found your answer.
Richard can walk
meters further with this new rate.
Since there are
minutes in 1 hour, you would divide 60 ÷ 12 =
.
Then you would multiply 1 × 5 =
to find out how many kilometers Richard walks in 1 hour.
Since there are
meters in 1 kilometer, you would multiply 5 x 1,000 =
to convert to meters.
So, Richard walks
meters in 1 hour at his new rate.
Then you subtract 5,000 − 4,000 =
.
