how far can it travel in 6 hours?​

Answer 1

It travels 264 kms in 6 hrs

Answer 2

Given : ↴

$\sf \: A \: loaded \: truck \: travels \: 24 \: km \: in \: 30 \: minutes.$

To Find : ↴

$\sf \: We \: have \: to \: find \: that, \: How \: long \: it \: can \: travel \: in \: 6 \: hours.$

$\sf \: When \: the \: speed \: remain \: same.$

So, Let's Start : ↴

$\sf \: Let \: the \: Truck\: travels \: x \: killometre \: in \: 6 \: hours.$

$\sf \: First \: of \: all \: We \: need \: to \: convert \: the \: 6 \: hours \: into \: minutes.$

$\sf \: 1 \: hours \: = 60 \: minutes.$

$\sf \: So, \: 6\: hours \: = 6\: \times \: 60 \: = 360 \: minutes$

$\sf \: \cfrac{24}{30} = \cfrac{x}{360}$

$\sf \: x \: = \: \cfrac{24 \times 360}{30}$

$\sf \: x \: = \: \cfrac{24 \times \cancel{360}}{ \cancel{30} } = \: \cfrac{24 \times 12}{ 1 }$

$\sf \: \: x \: = \: \: \cfrac{24 \times 12}{ 1 } \: = 24 \: \times \: 12$

$\sf \: Answer : 24 \times 12 \: = \: 288 \: km$

$\sf \: So, \: the \: Truck \: can \: travel \: 288 \: km \: in \: 6 \:hours.$
