Answer:

63 km

Explanation:

Given :

  • Speed = 315 km/h
  • Time = 12 minutes

Solving :

Convert minutes into hours so that the units are equal, otherwise your answer will not be correct.

  • There are 60 minutes in an hour
  • Therefore, 12 minutes is equal to :
  • 12/60 hours
  • 1/5 hours
  • 0.2 hours

Calculating distance

  • Distance = Speed x Time
  • Distance = 315 km/h x 0.2 h
  • Distance = 63 km
