Question

A car travels along a straight road at a constant 72 km/h. Determine the car's distance after 5 minutes.

Answer 1

6 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first reduce the time travelled from minutes to hours since the speed of the car is given in km/h:

5 minutes = 5 / 60 h = 1/12 h

Now use this value in the formula for distant in uniform motion:

Distance = speed * time

Distance = 72 km/h * 1/12 h = 6 km
