Question

A truck travels some distance at a speed of 35 km/hr in 120 mins and the remaining distance at a speed of 48km/hr in 60 min determine the total distance covered

Answer 1

Hey Mate,

Given,

The truck travels at a speed of 35 km/hr in 120 minutes and at a speed of 48 km/hr in 60 minutes.

First, let us convert minutes into hours to make our calculations easier.

Then, 120 minutes = 2 hours and 60 minutes = 1 hour ( Since, 60 minutes = 1 hour )

Now, we know Speed = Distance / Time

Then, Distance = Speed x Time

Then,

Total distance travelled = ( 35 x 2 + 48 x 1 ) km

= ( 70 + 48 ) km

= 118 km

Therefore, the truck travelled 118 km.

Hope it Helps!
