A car can travel 40 km/hr. How much time will it take to cover a distance of 500m
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
A car travels 40 km in 1 hr, then how much time does it take to travel 50 km
We know 1 hour = 60 minutes
Car travels 40 km in 60 minutes
Therefore Car will travel 1 km in 60/40 minutes
Car will travel 50 km in 60/40 × 50 minutes
= 3000/40 minutes
= 300 / 4 minutes
= 75 minutes
Or 1 hour 15 minutes
Answer car will take 1 hour 15 minutes to travel 50 km
Answer:
let the time required to cover 500m be "x"
500m=0.5km
distance. time
40 km. 1hr
0.5 km. x
this is direct proportion
so,
40×0.5= 1× x
apply cross product rule
40×x= 0.5×1
=>40x=0.5
=>x=0.5/40
=>x=50/400( by multiplying with 10)
=>x=5/40
=>x=0.125 hrs
=>x=7.5 minutes
Therefore, A car will take 7.5 minutes to cover a distance of 500 m
