Using concept:

• Formula to find distance

Using formula:

• Distance = Speed × Time

Required solution:

»»» Distance = Speed × Time

»»» Distance = 3 × 20

»»» Distance = 60 metres $\:$

Answer 2

Explanation: 1 hour = 60 minutes + 40 = 100 minutes.

100*60 (seconds) = 6000 seconds.

6000*3 = 18000/1000 = 18 kilometers.
