Maria's luggage travels 36 m in 3 minutes. What is the speed of the conveyer belt in kilometers per hour?

0.72 km per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the speed in meters per hour. Create a proportion where x is this speed:

=

3x = 2160

x = 720

So, the speed is 720 meters per hour. Convert this to kilometers per hour by dividing 720 by 1000, since there are 1000 meters in a kilometer:

720/1000

= 0.72

So, the speed of the conveyer belt is 0.72 km per hour

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
