Question

complete the statement
0.3km per second=_____meters per minute
my answer was 300 meter per minute

Answer 1

is it correct

Answer 2

i multipied by 100 so then i got 300\

Answer 3

i mean 1000

Answer 4

\[ \frac{0.3 km}{sec} = \frac{x m}{min}\]
\[ \frac{0.3 (1000)m}{sec} = \frac{x m}{60 sec}\]
\[ \frac{ (300)m}{sec} = \frac{x m}{60 sec}\]
\[ \frac{ (300)m}{1} = \frac{x m}{60 }\]
\[ \frac{ (300)}{1} = \frac{x }{60 }\]
\[300(60) = x\]
18,000 = x

Answer 5

i think your thinking of a different thing because thats not what where suppose to do

Answer 6

Nope, it's the correct answer. And that's how you do it.

Answer 7

seconds and meters both cancel with this set up. Kilo = 1000

Answer 8

i dont understand is there another/ easyer way

Answer 9

Trust me you can understand these steps

Answer 10

Obviously, you weren't understanding the other way. If you were, you wouldn't be here.

Answer 11

i was just making sure if my answer was correct i understud the other way

Answer 12

But your answer wasn't correct.

Answer 13

I'll post a detailed solution for you so that you understand my steps.

Answer 14

ok thank you

Answer 15

oh wait i get it i get it thanks a whole lot!!!!!!

Answer 16

Actually, I'll just explain what I did.

k = kilo = 1000
1 min = 60 sec
x = the blank we're trying to find the value of
per means "divided by"

Insert all of that into the formula I wrote above
Then multiply both sides by sec to get rid of it
Divide both sides by meters to get rid of it.
Then cross multiply to get the value for x

I hope you understand.

Answer 17

yes thanks!!!

Answer 18

I knew you could understand. Good job
