Question

Issac can run at a speed of 6 km per hour. A kilometer equals 1,000 meters. How fast can Issac run in meters per minute?

Answer 1

Answer

6 km per hour = 100 meters per minute

Explanation

We are asked to convert 6 km per hour into meters per minute.

To do that, we need to note that

1 km = 1000 meters

1 hour = 60 minutes

So, the conversion will be

$\begin{gathered} \frac{6\text{ kilometers}}{hour} \\ =\frac{6\text{ kilometers}}{hour}\times1\times1 \\ \text{And} \\ \frac{1000\text{ meters}}{1\text{ kilometer}}=1 \\ \frac{1\text{ hour}}{60\text{ minutes}}=1 \\ \frac{6\text{ kilometers}}{hour}\times1\times1 \\ =\frac{6\text{ kilometers}}{hour}\times\frac{1000\text{ meters}}{1\text{ kilometer}}\times\frac{1\text{ hour}}{60\text{ minutes}}=\frac{6\times1000\times1}{1\times60} \\ =100\text{ meters per hour} \end{gathered}$

Hope this Helps!!!
