Question

Hana runs 3 kilometers in 25 minutes. At the same rate, how many kilometers would she run in 20 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.4 km.

Let's see the 3 km as metres:

1 km = 1000 m

3 km = ?

1000 × 3 = 3000 m

How many metres is 1 minute:

25 minutes = 3000 m

1 minute = ?

3000 ÷ 25 = 120 m

How many metres is 20 minutes:

1 minute = 120 m

20 minutes = ?

120 × 20 = 2,400 m

Turn it to km:

1000 m = 1 km

2,400 m = ?

2,400 ÷ 1000 = 2.4 km.

The answer is 2.4 km.
