    1.6 km = 1 mile
    1 km = 1/1.6 mile
    10 km = 1/1.6 x 10= 6.25 miles
    60 minutes = 1 hour
    1 min = 1/60 hour
    20 minutes = 1/60 x 20 hour = 1/3 hour
    speed = distance/time= 6.25 miles/1/3 hour = 18.75miles/hour

    Question: 10 km / 20 min = ? Mi/hr

    Answer:

    First, convert 10 km to its equivalent in miles.
    Second, convert 20 min to its equivalent in hours.

    I'll do the second part for you:
    20 min x (1 hr / 60 min) = 1 / 3 hrs = 0.333 hrs

    I'll leave it as an exercize for you to determine
    the first part (converting 10 km to miles).

    Finally, divide the answer for the first part by
    the answer for the second part, above.

    Average speed = avg. velocity = distance / time = v = d / t.
