Answer 1

Question

A train runs 250 meters in 30 seconds. Find the distance the train covers in 10 minutes if it runs at the same rate.

Solution

Given:-

• A train runs 250 meters in 30 seconds

Find:-

• Cover distance in 10 min.

Explanation

We know,

• 1000 meters = 1 kilometer

• 60 second = 1 minute

So,

• 30 second = 1/2 minute .

A/c to question

A train runs 250 meters in 30 seconds(1/2 min.) .

==> Cover distance by train in 1/2 min = 250 m

==> Cover distance by train in 10 min = 250 × 2 × 10

==> Cover distance by train in 10 min = 5000 m

Or,

==> Cover distance by train in 10 min = 5 km.

Thus

• Total cover distance by train in 10min will be = 5 k.
