265 meters = 0.265 kilometers time = distance/rate time = 0.265/150 = 0.001766666... hours multiply by 60 to get minutes. Ans. 0.106 minutes multiply by 60 to get seconds. Ans. 6.36 seconds. ----------------------- How long will it take cross a bridge 67 miles long at the same speed? No bridge is 67 miles long. You mistyped. Edwin
