To find the distance traveled (\(d\)), you can use the formula:
\[ d = \text{speed} \times \text{time} \]
First, convert the time to hours:
\[ \text{Time} = 12 \, \text{minutes} \, 30 \, \text{seconds} = 12.5 \, \text{minutes} = 0.2083 \, \text{hours} \]
Now, apply the formula:
\[ d = 55 \, \text{km/h} \times 0.2083 \, \text{h} \]
Calculate the distance in kilometers and then convert it to meters (1 km = 1000 m).
\[ d = 55 \, \text{km/h} \times 0.2083 \, \text{h} = 11.4585 \, \text{km} \]
Now, convert kilometers to meters:
\[ 11.4585 \, \text{km} \times 1000 \, \text{m/km} = 11458.5 \, \text{meters} \]
Therefore, the distance traveled by the car in 12 minutes 30 seconds is approximately 11458.5 meters.
