To express the speed of the van in terms of hours, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours.
We know that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes.
So, to convert x minutes to hours, we divide x by 60.
Therefore, the equation y = (10/20)(x/60) can be simplified to y = (10/1200)x, since 10/20 simplifies to 1/2 and x/60 simplifies to x/1200.
Therefore, the constant speed of the van in terms of hours is 1/1200.
The equation y= 10/20x describes the number of kilometers y that a van travels in x minutes. What is the constant speed of the van in terms of hours?
