Question

A tempo travels 60 km in 2 hours and a car travels 80 km in 1 hour. Find the ratio of their
speed.​

Answer 1

Answer: The ratio of the speed of tempo to the speed of the car is 3:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A tempo travels 60 km in 2 hours and a car travels 80 km in 1 hour.

To find: The ratio of their  speed.​

Analyzing the data:

Distance covered by tempo = 60km

Time taken by tempo= 2 hours

we know that, speed = $\frac{distance}{time taken}$

Hence, speed of the tempo = $\frac{60}{2}$ = 30 km/h

Similarly,

Distance covered by car = 80km

Time taken by car= 1 hour

we know that, speed = $\frac{distance}{time taken}$

Hence, speed of the car = $\frac{80}{1}$ = 80 km/h

Now let us find the ratio,

i.e, speed of tempo : speed of car

= 30 : 80

= $\frac{30}{80}$ = $\frac{3}{8}$

= 3:8

Therefore, the ratio of the speed of tempo to the speed of the car is 3:8
