Answer 2

Answer:

27 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A train is time tabled to take 3 hours but it is delayed by 15 %

To Find:  how late will be the train

Solution:

A train is time tabled to take 3 hours

The train is 15% delayed .

So, the train is late by hours = $15\% \times 3$

                                               = $\frac{15}{100} \times 3$

                                               = $0.45$

1 hour = 60 seconds

So, 0.45 hours = $0.45 \times 60 = 27$

Hence the train is late by 27 minutes.
