Question

A loaded truck travels 14 km in 25 minutes. If the speed remains the same, how far can it
A
travel in 5 hours

Answer 1

Given that a loaded truck travels 14 km in 25 minutes. in 300 minutes, a loaded truck can travel 14*300/25 km, i.e., 168 km. Hence, that truck can travel 168 km in 5 hours.

Answer 2

Answer:

$distance \: = speed \times \: tmetaken$

Given,

Distance traveled so far= 14km

Time taken = 25 mins=25/60 = 0.42 hrs

First find speed

Speed = Distance / Timetaken

Speed = 14/0.42 = 33.33 km/hr

since the speed is same, we can substitute the speed for finding how far the loaded truck travelled in 5 hours.

Distance = speed x Time

Distance = 33.33 x 5 =166.7 km

Therefore, the loaded truck can travel 166.7 km in 5 hours.
