Question

1. A train travels 25 km in 0.5 hrs. How fast is it going?

Answer 1

Answer:

distance travelled by train = 25km

time taken by train = 0.5hr

Speed=distance/time

Speed = 25/0.5

Speed = 50km/hr

Answer 2

Given,

A train travels 25 km in 0.5 hrs.

To find,

How fast the train is moving.

Solution,

We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following process:

The fastness of any moving body can be quantified or calculated by determining the speed at which the body is moving.

Mathematically,

speed (s) = distance traveled (d)/time of journey(t)

{statement-1}

Now, the speed of the train

= distance traveled (d)/time of journey(t)

{according to statement-1}

= (25 Km)/(0.5 hrs)

= 50 Km/hr

Hence, the train is moving at a speed of 50 Km/hr.
