Yongle left home at 7:10 a.m., walked to school at a speed of 1.2 m/S, and arrived at school at 7:23 a.m. How many meters is the distance from Yongle's home to school?

To calculate the distance from Yongle's home to school, we can use the formula for distance:

\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}
\]

### Step 1: Calculate the time taken
Yongle left home at 7:10 a.m. and arrived at school at 7:23 a.m. The total time taken is:

\[
7:23 \, \text{a.m.} - 7:10 \, \text{a.m.} = 13 \, \text{minutes}
\]

Convert 13 minutes to seconds:

\[
13 \, \text{minutes} = 13 \times 60 = 780 \, \text{seconds}
\]

### Step 2: Calculate the distance
Now, use the formula for distance with Yongle's walking speed of \(1.2 \, \text{m/s}\) and the time of 780 seconds:

\[
\text{Distance} = 1.2 \, \text{m/s} \times 780 \, \text{seconds} = 936 \, \text{meters}
\]

Thus, the distance from Yongle's home to school is **936 meters**.

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this:

1. What would be the distance if Yongle walked at 1.5 m/s instead?
2. How long would it take Yongle to walk if the distance was 1,200 meters?
3. If Yongle ran at 3 m/s, how much time would he save?
4. What is the time difference if Yongle walked slower, at 1 m/s, for the same distance?
5. How would the result change if he walked for 15 minutes instead?

**Tip**: Always double-check units (minutes to seconds, kilometers to meters) to avoid errors in calculations.
