Answer:
The truck had been travelling 40 km/h over the speed limit.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert 10 kilometers per 6 minutes to km/h.
1 hour=60 minutes
(60 minutes/6 minutes) x 10 km
10 x 10 km = 100 km
Therefore, the speed of the truck is 100 km/hr.
The last step is to subtract his speed to the speed limit.
100 km/hr - 60 km/hr
=40 km/hr
The truck had been travelling 40 km/h over the speed limit.
