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

  • A.3.6
  • B.7.2
  • C.8.4
  • D.10

Answer: B

Convert both quantities to the units the answer needs.

\[ 600 \text{ m} = 0.6 \text{ km}, \qquad 5 \text{ min} = \frac{1}{12} \text{ h} \]

\[ v = \frac{0.6}{1/12} = 7.2 \text{ km/hr} \]

Equivalently, 2 m/s multiplied by \( \tfrac{18}{5} \) gives the same 7.2 km/hr.
