Question

A train travels at 48 km/hr. How many meters will it travel 15 min

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed of the train- 48km/hr (Given)

1 Hour=60 mins.

48km= 48000 mtr

By unitary method:-

In 60 mins distance covered=48000 mtr.

That implies,

In 15 mins it will cover distance= (48000/60)*15= 12000 mtrs.

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance travelled is 12000 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a train travels at 48 km/hr.

we have to find the distance it travels in 15 min in meters

Speed of the train= 48 km/hr

As 1 Hour contains 60 mins.

$1 min=\frac{1}{60} hr$

$15 m=15\times \frac{1}{60}=\frac{1}{4} hr$

By speed distance formula

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

$48=\frac{Distance}{\frac{1}{4}}$

$Distance=48\times \frac{1}{4}=12 km$

1 km= 1000 m

∴ 12 km= 12000 m

Hence, the distance travelled is 12000 m
