To Answer questions like these , we can follow a method known as:

Cross multiplication

In this method we are supposed to:

1. Align units of the same kind below one another.
2. Assign variable x to the unknown quantity.
3. Cross multiply and find out the answer.

720( m ) in 9( min )

x( m ) in 13( min )

(720 x 13)/9 = x

9360/9 = x

1040 ( m ) or 1.040 ( km ) = x
