60 minutes in an hour
60÷12=5
1,000 meter in 1 km
5×1=5
5×1000=5000
therefore, 5000 meters
Answer: He can walk 5000 meters in one hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the question,
\(\text{ The distance he covered in 12 minutes }=\text{ 1 km}\)
\(\text{ The distance he covered in 60 minutes }=\text{ 5 km}\)
\(\text{ The distance he covered in 1 hour }=\text{ 5 km}\)
Now, 1 km = 1000 meters,
\(\implies \text{ The distance he covered in 1 hour }=\text{ 5000 m}\)
