Transcribed Image Text:### Question:
A person can walk 3000 meters in 5 minutes. How long would the person take to walk 1 kilometer?
### Options:
- ○ 100 s
- ○ 1.67 s
- ○ 600 s
- ○ 10 s
(Note: There is a missing option for one choice, which might be intentional or require clarification.)
### Explanation:
To solve this question, first convert the walking distance and time:
1 kilometer = 1000 meters.
The rate of walking can be calculated as:
- \( \text{Rate} = \frac{3000 \, \text{meters}}{5 \times 60 \, \text{seconds}} = \frac{3000}{300} = 10 \, \text{m/s} \).
To find out how long it takes to walk 1000 meters at 10 m/s:
- \( \text{Time} = \frac{1000 \, \text{meters}}{10 \, \text{m/s}} = 100 \, \text{seconds} \).
Therefore, the answer is 100 seconds.
