12. An aeroplane takes 3 hours to travel a distance of 3 300 km. Another aeroplane travels at a
speed which is 100 km per hour less than the first aeroplane. How long will it take to travel
the same distance by the second aeroplane? answer is 3 h 18 min
Answers
Time taken by the second aeroplane to travel a distance of 3300 km is 3 h 18 min.
• Distance travelled by thr first plane = 3300 km
Time taken by the first plane = 3 h
∴Speed of the first train = distance / time
=> Speed of the first train = 3300 km / 3 h
Or, speed of the first train = 1100 km/h
• According to the question,
Speed of the second aeroplane = (1100 - 100) km/h = 1000 km/h
Distance travelled = 3300 km
∴Time taken by the second aeroplane = distance / speed
=> Time taken by the second aeroplane = (3300 km) / (1000 km/h)
=> Time taken = 3.3 hours
• Now, 3.3 h = 3 h + 0.3 h
=> 0.3 h = 0.3 × 60 min
=> 0.3 h = 18 min
Therefore, 3.3 h = 3 h 18 min
=> Time taken by the second aeroplane = 3 h 18 min
Answer:
3 hrs 18 minutes
