Answers
Amit speed dhould be 15 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance to school = s × t
= 12 × 15 km = 180
So, the speed = d / t
= 180 / 12
= 15 km/h
Given - Time and speed
Find - Speed
Solution - The speed for new timing should be 0.25 kilometres/minutes
Firstly converting the speed to kilometres/minutes.
So, speed in kilometres/minutes = 0.2 kilometres/minutes
Now, the formula to be used for the calculation of speed -
speed1*time1 = speed2*time2
Speed1 = 0.2 kilometres/minutes
Time1 = 15 minutes
Time2 = 12 minutes
Keep the values in the formula to find the value of speed2.
Speed2 = 0.2*15/12
Speed2 = 0.25 kilometres/minutes
So, the speed for new timing should be 0.25 kilometres/minutes
