750km - 60min
? - 1min
Cross multiply
60*?=750*1
?=750/60
?= 12.5km
so it would travel 12.5km per minute.
Hope this helps!

1 mile = 1.609344 km
km/min = 750 mi/hr * 1hr/60min * 1.609344 km/mi
= 20.1168 km/min

Notice how the units cancel. It's a good way to check that you don't convert "the wrong way."
