Answer 1

Question:

A train covers 118.5 km in 14 hours . How much distance does it cover in 1 hour?

Answer:

According to the question, the train covers 118.5 km in 14 hours.

∴ In 1 hour the train covers _

(118.5÷14)

= 8.46 km approximately.

So, the train covers 8.46 km in 1 hour.

Except the unitary  method it can also be done in proportional method.

So, let's do it in proportional method too_

In 14 hours the train covers 118.5 km

Let, in 1 hour the train covers 'x' km

∴ x:1 = 118.5:14

Since it is in direct proportion so,

x/1 = 118.5/14

⇒ x = 8.46

So, the train covers 8.46 km in 1 hour.
