0.1 hr

To find the cyclist's speed in km/h, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours.
1 hour contains 60 minutes. In this case, the cyclist traveled for 10 minutes. So, we can calculate the time in hours by dividing 10 minutes by 60.
10 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.1667 hours (rounded to four decimal places)
Next, we can use the formula for speed:
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Given that the cyclist traveled a distance of 3 km and a time of 0.1667 hours, we can substitute the values into the formula:
Speed = 3 km ÷ 0.1667 hours
Calculating this, we find:
Speed ≈ 18 km/h
Therefore, the cyclist's speed is approximately 18 km/h.
3/10 = x/60
Cross multiply and solve for x.
