Final answer:
To find the distance travelled by the motorcycle, first convert 5 minutes to hours, obtaining 0.0833 hours, and then multiply by the constant speed of 85 km/h. The result is approximately 7.083 kilometers.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the distance travelled by the motorcycle that travels at a constant speed of 85 km/h for 5 minutes, we first need to convert the time from minutes to hours since the speed is given in kilometers per hour (km/h).
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so:
5 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.0833 hours
Now, we can use the formula for distance which is:
Distance = Speed × Time
Substituting the values we have:
Distance = 85 km/h × 0.0833 hours = 7.083 km
Therefore, the motorcycle travels a distance of approximately 7.083 kilometers.
