Question

A car travels at a speed of 55 km / h. Find the distance traveled by the car in 12 minutes 30 seconds, giving your answer in meters

Answer 1

s= 55km/hr

distance travelled in 12 min 30 sec

= s× t

= 55km/hr × 12min 60 sec

= 55×1000m/60×60 sec × (12×60sec+30sec)

= 55000 m/ 3600 sec × 750 sec

= 550 m×125/6

= 11458.3 meters
