Question

5. Nitin can walk 3 1/4 km in one hour. How much distance will he cover in 2 1/2 hours set?

Answer 1

Answer:

1st method:

First convert mixed fractions to proper fractions.

Walking speed 3 4/5 = 19/5 km per hour

Time = 2 1/2 hours = 5/2 hrs.

We know the speed formula, Speed = Distance/Time

Or Distance = Speed × Time

Distance = 19/5 km/hour × 5/2 hours

Distance = 95/10 kilometer

Distance = 9.5 kilometer
