Answer:
The person can run 4 km in 15 minutes.
2.5 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the distance covered by a man in 15 minutes at a speed of 16 km/hr.
[tex]\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}[/tex]
1 minute = 1/60 hour
15 minutes = 15/60 hour.
[tex]\text{Distance}=\frac{16\text{ km}}{\text{ hr}}\times \frac{15}{60}\text{ Hours}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Distance}=16\text{ km}\times \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Distance}=4\text{ km}[/tex]
Therefore, the person can run 4 km in 15 minutes.
1 km = 0.621371 miles
[tex]4\text{ km}=4\times 0.621371\text{ miles}[/tex]
[tex]4\text{ km}=2.485484\text{ miles}[/tex]
[tex]4\text{ km}\approx 2.5\text{ miles}[/tex]
Therefore, the runner's distance traveled in miles would be approximately 2.5 miles.
