A boy walks 600 metres in 9 minutes and takes 75 steps per minute. Find the average length of one step in centimetres.

Step-by-step solution

1. Calculate total steps: $75\times 9=675$ steps.
2. Convert distance to centimetres: $600,m=60000$ cm.
3. Divide distance by steps: $\frac{60000}{675}\approx 88.89$ cm per step.
