Answer:

  • The train took 5.4 hours to cover a distance of 270 km.

Explanation:

Given that:

  • A train covers 150 km in 3 hours.

To Find:

  • Time taken by the train to cover 270 km at the same speed.

As we know that:

\sf Speed = \dfrac{Distance \;covered}{Time \;taken}

Here,

  • Distance covered = 150 km
  • Time taken = 3 hours

Substituting the values,

\sf Speed = \dfrac{150}{3}

Dividing the numbers,

\sf\longrightarrow 50

Hence, speed of the train is 50km/h.

Now,

As we know that:

\sf Time\;taken = \dfrac{Distance}{Speed}

Here,

  • Distance = 270 km
  • Speed = 50 km/h

Substituting the values,

\sf Time\;taken = \dfrac{270}{50}

Cutting off the zeros,

\sf\longrightarrow\dfrac{27\!\!\!\not{0}}{5\!\!\!\not{0}}

\sf\longrightarrow\dfrac{27}{5}

Dividing the numbers,

\sf\longrightarrow 5.4

Hence, the train took 5.4 hours to cover the distance of 270 km at same speed.
