Average Speed =80km/h

Time Taken = 1/2 min
Meters = x
Please show how to solve this and answer. Having difficulty.

We need to know the question.

Assuming you want to know the meters traveled in .5 min:

One hour = 60 minutes
1km = 1000m

x = 80,000/(60*2) = ?

ok Yes that is the answer it is giving. But what about if the time taken was 10 sec and the average speed was km/h? I know 60 mins equals 1 hr, but would I have to convert seconds to minutes then to 1 hr to solve?

1 hour = 60 minutes = 60^2 or 3600 seconds

To solve this problem, we will first convert the time from minutes to hours to ensure consistent units. Then, we will use the formula for speed, which is:

Speed (in km/h) = Distance (in km) / Time (in hours)

Given:
Average Speed = 80 km/h
Time Taken = 1/2 min

We need to convert the time taken from minutes to hours:
1/2 min = (1/2) / 60 = 1/120 hours

Now we can use the speed formula to find the distance:
80 km/h = x / (1/120) hours

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
80 km/h * (1/120) hours = x

Now let's simplify the units and calculate the answer:
80 x (1/120) = x / 1200 km

Therefore, the distance in meters (x) is equal to x / 1200 km.

As for the numerical answer, we would need the actual value of x in order to calculate it.
