Answer:

15 kilometres

Explanation:

Based on the wording of your question, I am assuming you already know that Paul ran 250 metres every 1 minute, and that the ratio is 250:1. To get the second part of the answer, convert metres to kilometres. 0.001*250= 0.25. Paul ran 0.25 kilometres per minute. The ratio of kilometres per minute is 0.25:1. Next, convert minutes to hours. Multiply the entire ratio by 60, as there are 60 minutes in an hour. The ratio of kilometeres per minute is 15:60, and the ratio of kilometres per hour is 15:1, meaning Paul ran 15 kilometres in one hour.
