Question

ganeshie8 · Answer

we use this formula :-

distance = speed x time

ganeshie8 · Answer

and convert time to same units (minutes would be good)

ganeshie8 · Answer

distance = speed x time

        = $\frac{0.2 km}{minute} \times \text{2 hours 15 minutes}$

        = $\frac{0.2 km}{minute} \times \text{2 * 60 minutes + 15 minutes}$
   
        = $\frac{0.2 km}{minute} \times \text{135 minutes}$
