Question

a car travels at a speed of 55km/h .find the distance travelled by the car in 12 minutes 30 seconds giving your answer in metres​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = speed * time

car speed is = 55kmph convert in m/sec

                       55×5/18≈15.27 m/sec (x×1000/3600=5/18)

                      =15.27×12.30

                       =188km the distance travelled by car

Answer 2

Distance is 11,458.3 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of car (S) = 55 km/hr

In meter/ seconds. it can give speed as$\frac {55}{3600}\times 1000= \frac {55}{18}\times 5$

=Now, Time taken = 12 min 30 seconds

In seconds, it can result time as $12\times60$ + 30 = 720 + 30 = 750 seconds

We know that, Speed = $\frac {Distance}{Time}$

So, Distance =$\times {Speed} {Time}$

Distance = $\frac {55}{18}\times 5 \times 750$

Distance = 11,458.3 meters or

11.4583 Kilometers
