Steve ran a distanse of 150 meters in 1 1/2 minutes. What is his meter per hour ?
150/1.5=x/60
To find Steve's meters per hour, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours and then divide the distance traveled by the time taken.
First, we need to convert 1 1/2 minutes to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide 1 1/2 by 60 to get the time in hours:
1 1/2 minutes = 1.5/60 hours
Next, we divide the distance traveled by the time taken:
150 meters / (1.5/60 hours) = 150 meters / (1.5/60) hours
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal:
150 meters * (60/1.5) hours = 150 meters * 40 hours
So, Steve's meters per hour is 6,000 meters per hour.
Therefore, Steve ran at a speed of 6,000 meters per hour.
