A train travels at 82.6 km/h. How many meters will it cover in 15 minutes?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 20650
Distance = speed × time, with the time taken in hours because the speed is in km/h; the kilometres are then turned into metres.
15 minutes \(\displaystyle =\frac{15}{60}=\frac{1}{4}\) hour
Distance \(\displaystyle =82.6\times\frac{1}{4}=20.65\) km
1 km = 1000 m, so 20.65 km \(=20650\) m
