Question

Ronald runs 6,000 meters in 2 hours. He is thinking of running an 18 kilometers race. How much time will he take in the race if he maintains the same speed?

Answer 1

Ronald will take 6 hours to complete the 18 km race if he maintains this speed.

Explanation:

6000m in 2h = 6km in 2h

multiply by 3:

18km in 6h

Have a nice day!

Answer 2

6 hours

Explanation:

speed = distance/ time

6000meters to km = 6000/1000= 6km

speed for the first race = 6/2

speed = 3km/hr

for the second race

speed = distance/time

3 = 18/time

cross multiply

3* t = 18

divide both sides by 3

t = 18/3

t = 6 hours
