Final answer:
To calculate the speed, we'll use the formula speed = distance / time. We can convert the units to get the speed in (a) inches per second, (b) meters per minute, and (c) kilometers per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the speed, we'll use the formula speed = distance / time. In this case, the distance is 1 mile and the time is 13 minutes.
(a) To find the speed in inches per second, we need to convert 1 mile to inches and 13 minutes to seconds. 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet, and 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. So, 1 mile is equal to (5280 * 12) inches. Similarly, 13 minutes is equal to (13 * 60) seconds. Now we can calculate the speed in inches per second by dividing the distance in inches by the time in seconds.
(b) To find the speed in meters per minute, we need to convert 1 mile to meters and 13 minutes to minutes. 1 mile is equal to 1609 meters. Now we can calculate the speed in meters per minute by dividing the distance in meters by the time in minutes.
(c) To find the speed in kilometers per hour, we can use the conversion factor 1 mile is equal to 1.609 kilometers. Now we can calculate the speed in kilometers per hour by dividing the distance in kilometers by the time in hours.
