A distance of $800$ m is covered in $30$ minutes, find the speed in km/hr.
Speed is distance divided by time. 800 meters is 0.8 km, and 30 minutes is 0.5 hours. 0.8 / 0.5 = 1.6 km/hr.
Using the formula Speed = Distance / Time, divide 800 metres by 30 minutes to get 26.67 metres per minute. To convert this to km/hr, multiply by 60 minutes to get 1600 metres per hour, and then divide by 1000 to convert to kilometres. The speed is 1.6 km/hr.
