Question:

A person crosses a 600 m long street in 5 minutes. What is his speed in km per hour?

 

Options:

3.6

7.2

8.4

10

Correct Answer:

7.2

Explanation:

Speed = \(\frac{ Distance}{ Time}\)

Speed = \(\frac{600}{ 300}\) m/s

Speed = 2m/s

Speed in km/hr - 2 x \(\frac{ 18}{ 5}\) = \(\frac{36 }{5 }\) = 7.2 km/hr

*Note* 

In order to convert km/hr to m/s - multiply by  \(\frac{ 5}{ 18}\)

In order to convert m/s to km/hr - multiply by  \(\frac{ 18}{ 5}\)
