Question

A rabbit runs 5/3 kilometers in 10/6 hours. What is its speed in terms of kilometers per hour?
1 kilometer per hour
4 kilometer per hour
2 kilometer per hour
1.5 kilometer per hour

Answer 1

To find the speed of the rabbit in kilometers per hour, we need to divide the distance it ran by the time it took to run that distance.

The distance is \( \frac{5}{3} \) kilometers and the time is \( \frac{10}{6} \) hours.

First, we simplify the time:

\[
\frac{10}{6} = \frac{5}{3} \text{ hours}
\]

Now, to find the speed, we use the formula:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{\frac{5}{3} \text{ km}}{\frac{5}{3} \text{ hours}}
\]

Dividing \(\frac{5}{3}\) by \(\frac{5}{3}\) gives us:

\[
\text{Speed} = 1 \text{ km/h}
\]

Thus, the speed of the rabbit is **1 kilometer per hour**.
