Question

A cyclist pedals at 40km/hr for 15 minutes.
What distance would have been covered?

Answer 1

➤ Answer

• Distance travelled by the cyclist = 10km

➤ Given

• A cyclist pedals at 40km/hr for 15 minutes.

➤ To Find

• Distance covered by the cyclist.

➤ Step By Step Explanation

Given that ⤵

• Speed = 40 km/h
• Time = 15 minutes or 15/60 hours.

We need to find the distance travelled by the cyclist.

So let's do it !!

$\dag\boxed{ \sf{ \green{Speed = \cfrac{Distance}{Time}}}}$

By substituting the values

$\longmapsto\tt40=\cfrac{Distance}{\cfrac{15}{60} } \\ \\ \longmapsto\tt40 = \frac{Distance \times \cancel{60} }{\cancel{15}} \\ \\\longmapsto\tt 40 = Distance \times 4 \\\\\longmapsto\tt\cancel\cfrac{40}{4} = Distance \\ \\ \longmapsto\bf10km = Distance$

Therefore, distance travelled by the cyclist = 10 km.
