Question

a hare runs at 5 m/s and a tortoise runs at 0.5 m/s. they start from same point inthe same direction simultaneously.how far will the hare be ahead of tortoise after 30 mins?

Answer 1

the formula of distance is equal to speed multiply time0.5×1800=900m is a first equation
second equation is 5×1800=9000m.
9000-900=8100m

Answer 2

Find the distance of the hare after 30 mins:

5 m/s ⇒ 1 second = 5 m

1 second = 5 m

1 min = 5 x 60 = 300 m

30 mins = 300 x 30 = 9000m

Find the distance of the tortoise after 30 mins:

0.5 m/s ⇒ 1 second = 0.5 m

1 second = 0.5 m

1 min = 0.5 x 60 = 30 m

30 mins = 30 x 30 = 900 m

Find the difference in distance:

Difference in distance = 9000 - 900 = 8100 m

Answer: The hare is 8100 m ahead of the tortoise.
