The question asks how long it will take a car traveling at an average speed of 0.8 km per minute to cover a distance of 12 km.

We can use the formula: $\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

Here:

• Distance = 12 km
• Speed = 0.8 km per minute

$\text{Time} = \frac{12}{0.8} = 15 \, \text{minutes}$

Therefore, the correct answer is c. 15 minutes.

1. If the speed were 1 km per minute, how long would it take to travel 12 km?
2. How long would it take to travel 24 km at the same speed of 0.8 km per minute?
3. If the car traveled for 30 minutes at 0.8 km per minute, what distance would it cover?
4. How would the time change if the speed increased to 1.2 km per minute for the same 12 km distance?
5. How can you convert the time to seconds if the answer is given in minutes?

Tip: Always remember the relationship between distance, speed, and time when solving these kinds of problems: Time = Distance ÷ Speed.
