a bus leaves from Chennai and reaches Madurai which is 440km away in 6 hrs 30 minutes. Find its speed
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
as we know , speed = distance/ time
distance = 440 kms
time= 6 hrs 30 mins = 6 1/2 hrs = 13/ 2 hrs
speed = 440 ÷ 13 / 2
speed= 3250 km / hr
The speed of the bus is 67.7 km/hr.
Given: A bus leaves from Chennai and reaches Madurai which is 440 km away in 6 hrs 30 minutes.
To Find: The speed of the bus.
Solution:
We know that the relation between speed and distance can be given by the formula,
Speed = Distance / Time ....(1)
Coming to the numerical, we are given that;
The distance between Chennai and Madurai is = 440 km
The time required to travel the distance is = 6 hrs 30 mins = 6.5 hrs
So, we can find the speed by putting respective values in formula (1), we get;
So, the speed which must be maintained is = 440 / 6.5 km/hr
= 67.69 km/hr
= 67.7 km/hr
Hence, the speed of the bus is 67.7 km/hr.
