Robert runs a mile in 4.0 minutes. At the same speed, how fast does he run a kilometer?
Robert runs a mile in 4.0 minutes. At the same speed, how fast does he run a kilometer?
At constant speed of travel, d, the distance travelled is proportional to t, the amount of time spent travelling.

Robert runs a mile in 4.0 minutes. At the same speed, how fast does he run a kilometer?
At constant speed of travel, d, the distance travelled is proportional to t, the amount of time spent travelling.
t a d
When running a mile, one runs a distance 1.6 times less. The time running is proportional. It is 1.6 times less.
