Question

A train travels a distance of 300km with an average speed of 60 km h-¹. How much time does it take to cover the distance?

Answer 1

since, t=d÷s
therefore t=300÷60
=5hour

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Given :-

Distance covered by train = 300 km

Average speed of train = 60 km/h

To Find :-

Time taken by train = ??

Formula to be used :-

We know that,

Speed = Distance covered/Time taken

So, Time taken = Distance covered/Speed

Solution :-

Putting all the values, we get

Time taken = Distance covered/Speed

⇒ Time taken = 300/60

⇒ Time taken = 5 hours

Hence, the train will take 5 hours to cover the distance.

Important term :-

Average speed - Average speed is defined as the total distance traveled, divided by the total time taken.
