Question

. A cyclist covers 950 m in 5 minutes. Find his speed in km/ hour.full explanation ​

Answer 1

Given,

A cyclist covers $950$ meters in $5$ minutes.

First we have to find that $1$ meter is equal to how many kilometers

$1m= \frac{1}{1000}km$

And, also convert minutes into hours,

$1minute=\frac{1}{60}hours$

Formula,

Speed$=distance/ time$

Speed $=\frac{950}{1000}\times\frac{60}{5}$

Speed $=11.4km/h$

Therefore, his speed in km/h is $11.4 km/h$.

Answer 2

Given,

A cyclist covers $950m$ in $5min$

Formula:

Speed=Distance/Time

As they asked speed should be in km/hour, convert the distance to kilometers and time to hours.

$950m=\frac{950}{1000}$

$5min=\frac{5}{60}$

Speed=$\frac{\frac{950}{1000} }{\frac{5}{60} }$

$=\frac{950}{1000}\times \frac{60}{5}$

$=11.4$

The speed is $11.4km/hour$
