Multiply the meters Hira can run in a minute by the 10 minutes provided:
[tex]120 \times 10 = 1200[/tex]
Hira can run 1200 meters in 10 minutes.
To find out how long it will take Hira to run 2km, convert kilometers into meters:
[tex]2 \times 1000 = 2000[/tex]
Set up an equation for this problem:
[tex]120x = 2000[/tex]
x will represent minutes, and its coefficient, 120, will represent how many meters Hira can run in a minute.
Divide both sides by 120 to get x by itself:
[tex]x = 16.67[/tex]
It will take 16.67 minutes for Hira to run 2km.
