Yokana planned to walk 3000 km as part of a fundraising scheme. If he averaged 5 km/h, how many minutes would it take?

Answer :

Final answer:

Yokana would need 36,000 minutes to complete a 3000 km walk at an average speed of 5 km/h, after converting the total time of 600 hours into minutes.

Explanation:

To calculate how many minutes it would take Yokana to walk 3000 km at an average speed of 5 km/h, we would first need to calculate the total hours of walking and then convert this time into minutes.

Calculate Total Time in Hours

Total time = Total distance ÷ Average speed

Total time = 3000 km ÷ 5 km/h = 600 hours

Convert Hours into Minutes

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we multiply the total time in hours by 60:

Total time in minutes = 600 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 36,000 minutes

Yokana would need 36,000 minutes to walk 3000 km at an average speed of 5 km/h.
