Distance Unit


1. The problem asks: If speed is measured in kilometers per hour (km/h) and time is measured in hours (hr), what will be the unit for distance? 2. The formula relating speed, distance, and time is: $$\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$$ 3. Rearranging the formula to solve for distance: $$\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}$$ 4. Since speed is in km/h and time is in hours (hr), multiplying these units: $$\text{Distance unit} = \frac{\text{km}}{\text{h}} \times \text{h} = \text{km}$$ 5. The hours (h) cancel out, leaving the distance unit as kilometers (km). Therefore, the unit for distance will be kilometers (km).
