If the car goes faster, does this quantity get bigger or smaller
the equation wavespeed = frequency x wavelength might help

First switch to km/min
60 km/hr (1hr/60min) = 1km/min
divide 1 by this number to invert
1/(1km/min) = 1 min/km
If you go faster, this number will get smaller, for example:
120km/hr (1hr/60min) = 2 km/min
1/(2 km/min) = .5 min/km
This should also make intuitive sense - the faster you go, the fewer minutes it takes you to travel the same distance.

60 km per hour = 1 km per minute , so it takes you one minute to travel one kilometer.
If the car goes faster, you travel one km in less than a minute, so that this quantity gets smaller

I think 1 Km per minute.
