Answer:

56.842 km/hr

0.947 km / min

15.789 m/s

Explanation:

speed = distance / time

let's assume your teacher wants it in km/ hr

28.5 minutes = ? hours

60 minutes = 1 hour

we can multiply both sides of 60 minutes = 1 hour by 28.5/60 to get 28.5 minutes = 28.5/60 hours

distance = 27 km

27 km / (28.5/60) hours = 56.842 km/hr

in km / minute

27 km / 28.5 minutes = 0.947 km / min

in meters/second:

1 minute = 60 seconds

28.5 minutes = ? seconds

we can multiply both sides of the first equation by 28.5 to get

28.5 minutes = 1710 seconds

27 km = ? meters

1 km = 1000 meters

we can multiply both sides of the second equation by 27 to get

27km = 27000 meters

27000 meters / 1710 seconds = 15.789 m/s
