First of all . . .

-- You want to know "km / hr", so you know you'll have to divide distance by time.

-- You want "km / hr", so you know the time will have to be in hours.

30 minutes = 1/2 hour

-- Doo da division:

(4 km) / (1/2 hour)

= (4 over 1/2) (km/hr)

= (4 times 2/1) (km/hr)

= 8 km/hr .
