Question

It took malcom 6 minutes to walk 500m from the bus stop to the opera house. How fastwas he travelling

Answer 1

speed =
`(distance)/(time)`
distance = 500m.
time = 6 min = 360 seconds
speed =
`(500)/(360)`
speed = 1.38 m/s or
`(25)/(18)m/s`

Answer 2

`v=(s)/(t)\\\\s=500m=0.5km\\\\t=6min=(6)/(60)h=(1)/(10)h=0.1h\\\\v=(0.5)/(0.1)\ km/h=5\ km/h`
