Question

5. How far can a person run in 15 minutes if he or she runs at an

average speed of 16 km/ty? (HINT: Remember to convert minutes to
hours.)

Answer 1

• Speed=16km/h
• Time=15min=1/4h

Now

• Distance=Speed ×Time
• Distance=16(1/4)
• Distance=4km

Answer 2

4 km

Explanation:

Question

How far can a person run in 15 minutes if he or she runs at an average speed of 16 km/h?

Solution

1 hours = 60 minutes

`\implies \sf 16 km/h = (16\:km/h)/(60\:min)=(4)/(15) km/min`

If the person runs for 15 minutes, then:

`\implies \sf total\:distance\:run=(4)/(15)\:km/min * 15\:min=4\:km`
