If Amir can run 15 kilometers in one hour, then he can run 0.25 kilometers in a minute. You divide 15 by 60 to get 0.25 kilometers.

From my calculations, Amir can run 0.25 KILOMETERS PER MINUTE. It would be 0.25 KM because you would divide 15 by 60 ( 15 ÷ 60 ) to find how many he could run in a single minute. Your answer would be 0.25.

And now to check that work : you would multiply 0.25 with 60 ( 0.25 ÷ 60 ) and once you do that, you would get 15. So there you go. There's your answer.
