A man goes 12 km in 1 hour 20 minutes by his bicycle what is the speed of the cycle per hour and what is the speed of the cycle per minute



Sagot :

Answer:

9 Km per hour , 0.15 Km per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is calculated as

• speed = distance ÷ time

given distance is 12 Km and time taken is 1 hour 20 minutes

Convert time to hours

• 1 hour = 60 minutes

Then 20 minutes = [tex]\frac{20}{60}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] hour

Then 1 hour 20 minutes = 1 + [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = 1 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] hours = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] hours

speed = 12 ÷ [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] = 12 × [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] = 9 Km per hour

---------------------------------------------------------

1 hour 20 minutes = 60 + 20 = 80 minutes

speed = 12 ÷ 80 = 0.15 Km per minute
