Question

A man runs at a speed of 12 km/h. How long will it take to cover a distance of 8km?

Answer 1

Speed = Distance / Time

Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 8 / 12

Time = 2/3 hours

2/3 hours = 40 minutes.

Answer 2

Given:

Speed=12 km/hr

Distance=8 km

To find:

The time taken

Solution:

The man's time to cover the distance is 40 minutes.

We will divide the given distance by the man's speed to get the required duration.

Let the required time be T.

So, T is equal to the distance divided by man's given speed.

Using the values, we get

T=8/12

T=2/3

We will convert this into minutes by multiplying by 60.

So, T in minutes=2/3×60

T=2×20

T=40 minutes

Thus, the man's time to cover the distance is 40 minutes.
