Answer 1

To find Sam's walking rate using the formula \( r = \frac{d}{t} \):

1. **Distance (d)**: 6 kilometers
2. **Time (t)**: 50 minutes

Now, apply the formula:

\[
r = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{6 \text{ kilometers}}{50 \text{ minutes}} = 0.12 \text{ kilometers per minute}
\]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**0.12 kilometers per minute**.
