How much distance covered by a scooter in 1 minute at the speed of 54 km/hr?

Question

Accepted Answer

To determine how much distance a scooter covers in 1 minute at a speed of 54 km/hr, we need to convert the speed from kilometers per hour to meters per minute.

1. **Convert speed from km/hr to m/min:**
   - 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
   - 1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore, 54 km/hr can be converted to meters per minute as follows:
   $$
   54 \text{ km/hr} = 54 \times 1000 \text{ m/hr} = 54000 \text{ m/hr}
   $$
   $$
   \text{Meters per minute} = \frac{54000 \text{ m/hr}}{60 \text{ min/hr}} = 900 \text{ m/min}
   $$

2. **Explanation of why Option 1 is correct:**
   - The calculation shows that at a speed of 54 km/hr, the scooter covers 900 meters in one minute. This matches Option 1, which states 900 m.

3. **Explanation of why other options are incorrect:**
   - **Option 2 (1000 m):** This option is incorrect because the calculation clearly shows that the scooter covers 900 meters, not 1000 meters, in one minute.
   - **Option 3 (115 m):** This option is incorrect because it is significantly lower than the calculated distance of 900 meters. It does not match the conversion from 54 km/hr to meters per minute.
   - **Option 4 (90 m):** This option is incorrect because it is much less than the calculated 900 meters. It seems to be a misunderstanding of the conversion process.

In conclusion, the correct answer is Option 1, 900 meters, as it accurately reflects the distance covered by the scooter in one minute at the given speed.
