Question

A car moves at a speed of 60 km/h for 20 minutes. How much distance does it cover?

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance = 20km

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of car : 60km/hr

Time : 20 minutes

To Find:

The distance travelled by the car

For the calculation of the distance travelled by the car, we must convert the time taken from minutes to hours.

In order to do so, divide the time by 60 minutes.

We will get

$\frac{20}{60}$ hours

= $\frac{1}3$ hours

The formula to calculate the speed of a moving body is

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

Substituting the values into the given formula,

$60 = \frac{Distance}{\frac{1}3}$

We can rewrite this as

$60 = Distance \times 3$

∴ Distance = $\frac{60}3$

Distance = 20km
