Question

Richard walks everyday for exercise at a rate of 1 kilometer every 12 minutes Part A: At this rate, how many meters can Richard walk 1 hour? Explain how you found your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, Richard can walk 5000 metres in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 kilometre = 1000 m.

Given that Richard covers 1 kilometre in 12 minutes.

It means Richard  covers 1000 metre in 12 minutes.

So in 12 minutes Richard covers 1000 metre distance.

     In   1 minutes Richard covers  $\frac{1000}{12}$  metre distance.

     In 60 minutes Richard covers  $\frac{1000\times 60}{12}$  metre distance.

                                                     =5000 metre

It means 1 hour  Richard covers 5000 metre distance.

Therefore, Richard can walk 5000 metres in 1 hour.
