Answer:

0.1 KM/S

Step-by-step explanation:

First, looking at the question we can say a few things: distance = speed/time. First we will change the 72 KM/HR to ? KM/S (seconds). To change the units fo the speed to seconds, we need to find how many seconds are in an hour which is 3600) then we have 72 KM/3600S and we will divide 3600 by 5 to get 720 which is what we will divide 3600 by to get to 5 seconds and what we will divide 72 by to get your speed in kilometers for your answer. 3600/720 = 5 seconds, and 72/720 is equal to 0.1. To format your answer, you would get 0.1 KM/S (kilometers/seconds)

If your teacher won't accept that answer or you want to change the unit of measurement for speed, you can also find out how many feet/miles a kilometer is and then multiply 0.1 times that value and then you'd have ? ft/s or mi/s.
