S.2) A car travels on an even, straight road from Kasi to town at \( 80 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h} \), and takes 60 minutes to get to town. a) Determine the distance it would cover.

To determine the distance covered by the car, we can use the formula for distance: \[ d = r \times t \] where: - \( d \) is the distance, - \( r \) is the rate (speed) of the car, - \( t \) is the time taken. Given: - The speed \( r = 80 \) km/h, - The time \( t = 60 \) minutes. First, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours since the speed is given in km/h. \[ t = \frac{60 \text{ minutes}}{60} = 1 \text{ hour} \] Now we can substitute the values into the distance formula: \[ d = 80 \text{ km/h} \times 1 \text{ h} \] Calculating this gives: \[ d = 80 \text{ km} \] Thus, the distance covered by the car is \( 80 \) km.
