Answer 1

The Michael drove 648,000 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the time taken by Michael, that is t = 36000 s

Speed is nothing but distance traveled by the time taken in seconds. Its unit is m/s.

Here we have the speed in km/hr, we have to convert it to m/s as,

1 km = 1000 m

1 hr = 3600 s

So it is converted as,

`$(65 * 1000)/(3600)`

= 18 m/s

Now we have the speed in m/s.

18 m/s =
`$(x m)/(36000s)`

We can find the distance x as = 18 m/s ×36000 s = 648,000 m

So the Michael drive 648,000 m.
