To determine the speed at which a car is traveling to cover a distance of 1 kilometer in one minute, we need to convert the time to hours and then calculate the speed.

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so to convert 1 minute to hours, we divide by 60:

1 minute / 60 = 0.0167 hours

Now, to calculate the speed, we divide the distance traveled (1 kilometer) by the time taken (0.0167 hours):

Speed = Distance / Time Speed = 1 kilometer / 0.0167 hours

Calculating this:

Speed ≈ 59.88 kilometers per hour

Therefore, the car would need to travel at approximately 59.88 kilometers per hour to cover a distance of 1 kilometer in one minute.
