Ms Garcia walks from Taco Palenque to the post office in 5 minutes. Taco Palenque is located 0.30 km from the post office. What was her speed?

v = 1 m/s

Explanation:

we apply the uniform motion formula:

v = d/t Formula (1)

Where

v : is the velocity in m/s

d: is the distance in meters (m)

t: is the time in seconds (s)

Equivalence

1 km = 1000m

1 minute = 60 s

Known data

d=0.30 km = 0.3 * 1000m = 300m

5 minutes = 5*60 s = 300 s

Problem development

We apply the formula (1) for calculate the speed:

v = 300m/300 s

v = 1 m/s
