Question

a car travels at a speed of 55 km/h. Find the distance travelled by the car in every 12 min and 30 seconds, giving your answer in meters.

Answer 1

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 km = 1000 meters

55 x 1000 = 55,000 meters

55,000 / 60 minutes = 916 2/3 meters per minute

916 2/3 meters per minute x 12.5 minutes = 11,458 1/3 meters every 12 minutes and 30 seconds
