To convert Kevin's speed from km/h to meters per minute, we need to multiply his speed by a conversion factor of 1000 m/km and 1/60 min/h.
13 km/h * (1000 m/km) * (1/60 min/h) = 13,000 m/60 min
Simplifying, we get:
≈ 217 m/min
Therefore, the correct answer is D. ≈ 217 m/min.
To convert Kevin's speed from kilometers per hour to meters per minute, we can use the following conversion factors:
1 kilometer = 1000 meters
1 hour = 60 minutes
First, we need to convert Kevin's speed from kilometers per hour to meters per hour:
13 km/h * 1000 m/km = 13,000 m/h
Next, we can convert Kevin's speed from meters per hour to meters per minute:
13,000 m/h ÷ 60 min/h = 217 m/min
Therefore, Kevin's speed is approximately 217 m/min, so the correct answer is D. ≈ 217 m/min.
To convert Kevin's speed from kilometers per hour to meters per minute, we need to use the conversion factor of 1 kilometer = 1000 meters and 1 hour = 60 minutes.
First, we convert Kevin's speed from kilometers per hour to meters per hour by multiplying it by 1000:
13 km/h * 1000 m/km = 13,000 m/h
Then, we convert Kevin's speed from meters per hour to meters per minute by dividing it by 60:
13,000 m/h ÷ 60 min/h = 217 m/min
Therefore, Kevin's speed is approximately 217 meters per minute, which corresponds to option D.
