Here's how to calculate the distance:1. **Convert minutes to seconds:** 18 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 1080 seconds2. **Use the formula: distance = speed x time**3. **Calculate:** distance = 1.2 m/s * 1080 s = 1296 meters4. **Convert meters to kilometers:** 1296 meters / 1000 meters/kilometer = 1.296 kmTherefore, the distance from your home to school is approximately 1.3 km.
