Question

A tortotise moves a distance of 100m in 15 minutes. What is the avg. Speed of tortotise
Show solution
(Ans should come 0.3km/h) ​

Answer 1

$\star{\huge{SOLUTION}}$

${Speed={\frac{Distance}{Time}}}$

Distance = 100m = 0.1km

Time = 15min = 15/60 = 1/4 = 0.25hr

Using the formula, we get

$speed = \frac{0.1}{0.25} = 0.4kmph$

Answer 2

Tortoise moves a distance of - 100m viz 0.1km

Time take by it - 15 minutes viz 15÷60=0.25hours

so average speed will be-

distance

--------------

time

= 0.1km÷0.25hours=0.4km/hours approximately
