Distance is the product of speed V and time t.
The vehicle speed in the problem statement is indicated in km / h, and the time in minutes. In order to make the correct solution to the problem, it is necessary to convert km / h to m / min. One kilometer is 1000 meters, and one hour is 60 minutes. Multiply 72 km / h by 1000 meters and divide by 60 minutes:
72 km / h * 1000 m: 60 min = 1200 m / min – V car.
Since the car has been moving for 10 minutes, we multiply this speed by 10:
1200 m / min * 10 min = 12000 meters = 12 km.
Answer: 12 km.
