Question
Select the correct answer
A man crosses a street 600 meters long in 5 minutes. His speed in kilometers per hour is:
Options
- 2.6
- 7.2
- 3.6
- 10
Solution
Sure, let's solve this step by step:
-
First, we need to convert the distance from meters to kilometers because the speed is asked in kilometers per hour. We know that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. So, 600 meters is equal to 600/1000 = 0.6 kilometers.
-
Next, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours because the speed is asked in kilometers per hour. We know that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes. So, 5 minutes is equal to 5/60 = 0.08333 hours.
-
Now, we can calculate the speed by dividing the distance by the time. So, the speed is 0.6 kilometers / 0.08333 hours = 7.2 kilometers per hour.
So, the correct answer is 7.2 kilometers per hour.
