if it travels 16 kilometers in 13 minutes, then the speed per minute would be 1.230769231 kilometers per minute.

multiply that by 60 and you get 73.84615385 kilometers per hour.

another way to do it.

13 minutes / 60 is equal to .2166666667 hours.

16 / .21666666667 = 73.84615385 kilometers per hour.

the basic formula is rate * time = distance.

solve for rate to get rate = distance / time.

if time is in minutes, then rate will be distance per minute.

if time is in hours, then rate will be distance per hour.
