You are trying to catch a train, which will be leaving in 2 minutes. There are 2 kilometers between you and the train station. If you managed to catch a car ride to cover the first kilometer and the car's average speed is 60 km/h, what must be your speed of running for the remaining distance to be on time for the train's departure?

K, you have 2 minutes, one minute for one kilometer.
If you're in 60km/h, you're on 1km/m, so, if you cover 1 km in one minute, you need to stay in that speed to get to the train station.
