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.
