.
A cross country skier reaches the 3-km mark of a race in 15 minutes and the 12-km mark 45 minutes later.
Assuming a constant rate, find the speed of the skier in km/min
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
= 0.6 km/min.
The second part of the condition ("and the 12-km mark 45 minutes later. ") is excessive and is not necessary.
