step by step answer plzzzzzzzzz​

Answer 1

a 2.5 km

b 500 meters

Explanation:

we know that 1 hour = 60 minutes, so multiply by that conversion factor to get km per minute

Then multiply by 5 minutes to determine how far in 5 minutes

30 km/hour * 1 hour/ 60 minutes * 5 minutes = 30/60 * 5 km = 2.5 km

Using km per min and multiplying 1000m per km

30 km/hour * 1 hour/ 60 minutes * 1000m/km =30*1000/60 m/min = 500m/min

Multiply by 1 min = 500 m
