Answer:
6.06miles
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Speed of the car = 39km/hr
Time = 15minutes
Unkown:
Distance in miles
Solution:
Speed is the change in distance with time.
Speed = [tex]\frac{Distance }{Time}[/tex]
We need to express our parameters in the same workable units. So we should convert the given time to hour.
60min = 1hr
15 min = 0.25hr
Therefore:
Distance = speed x time = 39km/hr x 0.25hr = 9.75km
Now convert km to miles
1.609km = 1mile
9.75km = [tex]\frac{9.75 }{1.609}[/tex] , 6.06miles
