Answer:

(Option B)The car travels 15km in 15 minutes.

Explanation:

Notice that the speed is written using units of km/h and the time is written using units of minutes.

Convert the time interval to hours. Remember that 1 hour equals 60 minutes:

15 min = 15 min × [tex]\frac{1h}{60~min}=0.25h[/tex]

The distance d that a particle travels during a time t if it moves at an average speed v is given by the formula:

d = v · t

Replace v=60km/h and t=0.25h to find the distance traveled by car:

[tex]d=(60\frac{km}{h}) ~x~(0.25h)=15km[/tex]

Therefore, the car travels 15km in 15 minutes.

Hope this helps!
