If I drive at a rate of 100km/h for a total time of 2 hours and 12 minutes,what distance of kilometers will I travel?
---
12 minutes = 1/5 hr
---
2 hrs and 12 min = 2 1/5 hrs = (12/5) hrs
-------------------------------------------------
Equation:
distance = rate * time
distance = 100(km/h)*(12/5)hrs = 20*12 km = 240 km
