    D 16.22 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The train’s speed is given as 72.6 km/hr. To find out how far the train will travel in 15 minutes, we first need to convert the time from minutes to hours since the speed is in km/hr. 15 minutes is a quarter of an hour because there are 60 minutes in an hour. Time in hours = 15 minutes / 60 = 0.25 hours Now we calculate the distance traveled by the train using the formula: Distance = Speed * Time Distance = 72.6 km/hr * 0.25 hours Now calculate the multiplication: Distance = 18.15 km The train will travel 18.15 kilometers in 15 minutes.
