Answer:
- 17 minutes 8.6 seconds (17 1/7 min)
- 2 hours 51 minutes 26 seconds (2 h 51 3/7 min)
Explanation:
The relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...
time = distance/speed
__
a) For 1 km, the time in hours is ...
time = (1 km)/(3.5 km/h) = 1/3.5 h = 2/7 h
In minutes, that is ...
(60 min/h)(2/7 h) = 120/7 min = 17 1/7 min . . . . time for 1 km
__
b) The time for 10 km is 10 times the time for 1 km, so will be ...
(10)(2/7 h) = 20/7 h = 2 6/7 h
In hours and minutes, that is 2 hours and (6/7)(60 min) = 360/7 min = 51 3/7 min.
The time for 10 km is 2 hours 51 3/7 minutes.
