Question

a hiker walks with an average speed of 2.5 m/s. what distance in kilometers does the hiker travel in a time of 2.7 hours? the distance traveled by the hiker in a time of 2.7 hours is \boxed{} km.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert time to seconds

$2.7 \text{ hours} = 2.7 \times 3600 = 9720 \text{ seconds}$

Step2: Calculate distance in meters

$\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 2.5 \, \text{m/s} \times 9720 \, \text{s} = 24300 \, \text{meters}$

Step3: Convert meters to kilometers

$24300 \, \text{meters} = \frac{24300}{1000} = 24.3 \, \text{kilometers}$

Answer:

24.3
