Answer:
1,350 meters per min
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Mr. Castelli covers 125 miles in 2.5 hours, the average speed = [tex] \frac{distance}{time} [/tex].
In miles per hr, average speed = [tex] \frac{125}{2.5} = 50 miles/hr [/tex].
Converting 50 miles/hr to km per hr:
If 1 miles = 1.62 km (unit conversion)
50 miles = 50*1.62 = 81 km/hr
Converting 81 km/hr to meters per hr:
1 km = 1,000 m (unit conversion)
81 km = 81*1,000 = 81,000 m/hr
Converting 81,000 m/hr to meters per minutes:
60 mins = 1 hr
Therefore, average speed = [tex] \frac{81,000}{60} = 1,350 meters/min [/tex]
Average driving speed of Mr Castelli in meters per minute = 1,350 meters per minute.
