Question

Zachary can't believe how bad London's traffic is today. In the past 10 minutes, his cab has barely moved 500 meters! He wonders if walking would have been faster. If Zachary walks at an average speed of 5 kilometers per hour, how many minutes would it take him to walk 500 meters?

Answer 1

6 min

Explanation:

5 kilometers = 5,000 meters

500/5,000 = 1/10 meaning it would take him 1/10 of an hour or 6 minutes to cover this distance.
