Question

A train is travelling 1 kilometer in 1 minute and 20 seconds. If the train continues at this rate, how far will it travel in one hour?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Time taken to cover the distance of 1 kilometer is 1 minute 20 seconds.

1 minute = 60 seconds

So, time taken = 60 + 20 ==> 80 seconds

Therefore, the rate of travel is 1 km/80 seconds.

To find the total distance traveled in one hour, simply form a conversion:

(1 km/80 sec) ⋅ 3600 sec/hour = 45 km

Therefore, the total distance traveled in hour is 45 km.
