Answer:

Explanation:

Distance =rate · time

12 km = rate · time

This formula is based on hours so you have to express the time in

hours, not minutes. 10 minutes is 1/6 hr (10/60).

12 km = rate · 1/6

multiply each side by the inverse of 1/6 which is 6/1 to solve.

12 · 6 = rate · 1/6 · 6/1

72 kph = rate
