answer the questions correctly using a ratio table

Question 1

Bert runs a total of 60 kilometers in 3,5 hours. 

Calculate his speed in km/h.

Use a ratio table to answer this question

ANSWER 1

1. distance = 60 km, time = 3,5 hours

2. speed = ........... km/h

3.  converting units: - 

4. 

5. answer:    speed = 17,1 km/h

distance (km)	60	60:3,5 = 17,1
time (h)	3,5	1

Question 2

Simone drives 170 kilometers in 3 hours and 44 minutes.

Calculate her speed in km/h.

Use a ratio table to answer this question
