Explanation:
Mark me AS BRAINLIEST :)
Explanation:
GIVEN:-
A train travels for 8 hours.
Total distance covered by first half is 30km
Total distance covered by second half is 50km
TO FIND:-
The total distance covered by the train in both the half.
UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT:-
Let the whole distance be 2x km
So, The half of the distance will be x km
By applying Distance formula we will get the distance of the both of half.
REQUIRED ANSWER:-
For First half,
Distance = Speed × Time
Substituting,
Time taken = Distance ÷ Speed
Time taken = ×/30 hours
For Second half,
Distance = Speed × Time
Substituting,
Time taken = Distance ÷ Speed
Time taken = x/50 hours
So, For finding the value of both the halfs we have to,
Time taken = 8hours
x/30 + x/50 = 8
4x/75 = 8
4x = 600
x = 150
We got the value of x for both the halfs.
Now we have to find the total distance covered by the train,
Total distance = 2x
= 150 × 2
= 300
Therefore, The total distance covered by train is 300km.
