Question

A motorcyclist travels at 30 km/h and stops for half an hour at the end of every 75 km. How
long will it take him to cover 375 km?​

Answer 1

Answer:

14:30 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance to be covered = 375 hrs

speed of motorcycle = 30 km/ h

Time needed to cover the distance = 12 hours 30 min

Number of stops = 375 ÷ 75

= 5

the fifth or the last stop will be not counted because the last is the end of the travel .

So number of stops = 4

Duration of the break = 1/2 hour

Duration of all the breaks = 2 hours

Time needed to cover = 12 hrs 30 min

the distance + 2 hrs 00 min

14 hrs 30 min

Thus motorcyclist will take 14 hours and 30 minutes to cover 375 km
