A car travelling at a constant speed travels 30 km in 15 minutes. How far will it travel in 2 hours 12 minutes if it continues at the same constant speed?

1. Determine the speed of the car. The car travels $$30$$ km in $$15$$ minutes. First, convert minutes to hours:
   $$
   15 \text{ minutes} = \frac{15}{60} = 0.25 \text{ hours}
   $$
   The speed $$v$$ is:
   $$
   v = \frac{30 \text{ km}}{0.25 \text{ hours}} = 120 \text{ km/hour}
   $$

2. Convert the total travel time to hours. The car will travel for $$2$$ hours $$12$$ minutes. Convert $$12$$ minutes to hours:
   $$
   12 \text{ minutes} = \frac{12}{60} = 0.2 \text{ hours}
   $$
   So, the total time $$t$$ is:
   $$
   t = 2 + 0.2 = 2.2 \text{ hours}
   $$

3. Calculate the distance covered in $$2.2$$ hours at $$120$$ km/h:
   $$
   \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 120 \text{ km/hour} \times 2.2 \text{ hours} = 264 \text{ km}
   $$

The car will travel $$264$$ km in $$2$$ hours $$12$$ minutes.
The car will travel 264 km in 2 hours and 12 minutes.

A car travelling at a constant speed travels 30 km in 15 minutes. How far will it travel in 2 hours 12 minutes if it continues at the same constant speed?
