Question

A cargo ship travels at an average speed of 12m/s. How long will it take to travel between two ports which are 600 km apart?

Answer 1

13 hours

Explanation:

Speed of cargo ship = 12 m/s

Distance between two ports = 600 Km

Convert it into meters:

600 Km x 1000 m / 1 Km = 600000 m

Now we know that

Speed = Distance / time

12 = 600000 / time

time x 12 = 600000

t  = 600000 / 12 = 50000 seconds

t = 50000 sec x 1 h / 3600

t = 13 hours

Thus it will take 13 hours to cover the distance.

Answer 2

Answer Speed of cargo ship = 12 m/s

Distance between two ports = 600 Km

Convert it into meters:

600 Km x 1000 m / 1 Km = 600000 m

Now we know that

Speed = Distance / time

12 = 600000 / time

time x 12 = 600000

t  = 600000 / 12 = 50000 seconds

t = 50000 sec x 1 h / 3600

t = 13 hours

Thus it will take 13 hours to cover the distance
