As the cyclist is travelling with a constant speed, we can use the equation time = distance / speed
For ease of calculation we can convert the 43km into m. As there are 1000m in 1 km, 43km = 43000m
time = 43000m/10m/s = 4300s
To this we can add on the 5 minutes stoppage time (5 mins = 5x60= 300s)
So the total time is 4300s + 300s = 4600s
We could also give this in minutes (4600/60) = 76.67 mins or roughly 1 h 17mins
