Understanding the Relationship: Understand the relationship between distance, speed, and time.Amir's speed is 15 kilometers per hour. To find out how many kilometers he can run per minute, we need to convert the speed from hours to minutes.
Converting Speed to Minutes: Convert the speed from kilometers per hour to kilometers per minute.Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, we divide the number of kilometers he runs in an hour by the number of minutes in an hour to find the distance he runs in one minute.Calculation: 60 minutes per hour15 kilometers per hour=0.25 kilometers per minute.
