Speed= distance\ time
Distance is unknown so it is speed * time
45km/h * (20/60)h
=15km

First, we need to do a type conversion. Because the types of the two given quantities are different. One is in minutes. The other is in hours. A vehicle that travels
45 kilometers in an hour travels how many meters in a second?


  • 45km/h=(45km)/(1hour) =(45km.1000)/(1hour.3600) =12.5m/s

A vehicle that travels
12.5 meters in a second travels how many meters in
20 minutes?


  • 1200.(12.5)=15000m=15km
