Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

EASY IVE DONE IT

Using conversion of units and the relationship between velocity, distance and time, it is found that the distance between the two stations is of:

c. 454 kilometers

Velocity is distance divided by time, that is:

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

In this problem:

  • Time of 6 hours, hence [tex]t = 6[/tex].
  • Velocity of 21 m/s. To convert from m/s to km/h, we multiply by 3.6, hence [tex]v = 21(3.6) = 75.6[/tex]

Then, solving for the distance:

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

[tex]75.6 = \frac{d}{6}[/tex]

[tex]d = 6(75.6)[/tex]

[tex]d = 453.6[/tex

Rounding up, 454 km, option c.
