b. 8 km/hr
c. 12 km/hr
d. 6 km/hr


Sagot :

Answer:

c. 12km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Coffee shop: Divide distance traveled by time taken to get the speed in km/min, then convert minutes to hours, and finally simplify to calculate the speed in km/hr

4km/20min * 60min/1hr = 240km/20hr = 12km/1hr = 12km/hr

Other shop: Same task, in the question it already says he is traveling at the same rate so this is only useful to check your answer

10km/50min * 60min/1hr = 600km/50min = 12km/1hr = 12km/hr
