Distance from Speed and Time - Kilometres

Formula

distance = speed * time

Example Calculation

You are travelling at a speed of 126 kilometres per hour (speed and time) for 2 hours and 45 minutes (time).
Both speed/time and time have to be in the same units to make the multiplication.
Changing the 2 hours and 45 minutes into an hour format makes sense.

There are 60 minutes in one hour; to change one minute into hours, divide one by 60.

1 ÷ 60 = 0.01666666666666666666666666666667.

Multiply this amount by 45;

0.01666666666666666666666666666667 * 45 = 0.75

2 hours and 45 minutes = 2.75 hours

Multiply 126 kilometres per hour by2.75 hours to get the distance;

126 * 2.75 = 346.5

At a speed of 126 kilometres per hour for two hours and 45 minutes, you will travel a distance of 346.5 kilometres.
