Question

A loaded truck travels 14km in 25 minutes. If the speed remains the same, how far

can it travel in 5 hours?​

Answer 1

Let truck travel x km in 5 hrs.

=> 14/25 = X/300

=> X = 14×300/25

=> X = 168km.

Answer 2

Given:

• distance travelled by loaded truck is 14 km

• time taken for the loaded truck to travel 14 km is 25 mins

To find:

• the speed of the loaded truck

• how much will the loaded truck travel in 5 hours

Solution:

~We know that

» S = D/T

~Where

» S = Speed

» Distance

» T = Time

★Finding the speed of the loaded truck :-

» S = D/T

» S = 14 km/ 25 min

» S = 0.56 km/min

Hence,

The speed of the loaded truck is 0.56 Km/min

~We also known that

D = S×T

~Where

»D = Distance

»S = Speed

»T = Time

★ Finding the Distance that the loaded truck will travel in 30 min ( 5 hrs )

» D = S×T

» D = 0.56 × 300

» D = 168 km/min

Hence,

The Distance traveled by the loaded truck in 5 hrs ( 300 min ) is 168 km/min
