Q. The formula for the distance traveled over time t and at an average speed v is v⋅t. Amit ran for 40 minutes at a speed of about 5 kilometers per hour. What calculation will give us the estimated distance Amit ran in kilometers? Choose 1 answer:(A) 5⋅40⋅60(B) 5⋅1000⋅40(C) 5⋅6040(D) 10005⋅40
Convert to Hours: Convert the running time from minutes to hours.Amit ran for 40 minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we need to convert 40 minutes into hours by dividing by 60.Calculation: 40 minutes ÷60 minutes/hour =32 hours
Use Distance Formula: Use the formula for distance, which is distance = speed × time.Amit's speed is given as 5 kilometers per hour, and we have just calculated the time in hours as 32 hours.Calculation: Distance = 5 km/h ×32 hours
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the distance.Calculation: Distance = 5km/h×32hours=(5×32)km=310km
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction to find the distance in kilometers.Calculation: 310 km = 3.333… km
Select Correct Option: Selection of the correct option.The calculation that gives us the estimated distance Amit ran in kilometers is 5 kilometers per hour times the running time in hours (40 minutes converted to hours), which is option (C) 5×(40/60).
