Question

5. Aditya cycles to school at a speed of 24 km/h. His school is 8 km away. How long will he take
to reach school?
[Ans: 20 min]​

Answer 1

Answer:

distance = 24 km/h÷ 8 km

= 6 h

= 20 min

Answer 2

Well given that Aditya cycles at a speed of 24 km/h and his school is 8 km away I.e., distance to be covered is 8 km

Since

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

So

$time = \frac{distance}{speed}$

So

$t = \frac{8}{24} = \frac{1}{3}$

So time taken is 1/3 hour

1 hour = 60 min

1/3 hour = 60 × 1/3 = 20 minutes

So time taken is 20 minutes
