Question

an aeroplane covers a distance of 1500 kilometre in half an hour. what is the average distance covered by it in 10 minutes.​

Answer 1

Answer:500km

Step-by-step explanation:

In half an hour, 30 min it covers Distance= 1500km

In 10 minutes, it will cover 1500×10/30=500km

Answer 2

Answer :-

The distance covered by aeroplane in 10 minutes is 500 Km.

Solution :-

Case 1

Finding speed of the aeroplane

Distance covered by aeroplane = 1500 Km

Time taken = 1/2 hour

We know that

Speed = Distance/Time

= 1500/(1/2)

= 1500 * 2/1

= 1500 * 2

= 3000

Speed of the aeroplane = 3000 Km/h

Case 2

Let the distance covered by aeroplane in 10 minutes be 'd' Km

Time taken = 10 minutes

Converting time taken to hour

60 minutes = 1 hour

1 minute = 1/60 hours

10 minutes = 1/60 * 10 = 10/60 = 1/6 hour

Speed = Distance/Time

⇒ 3000 = d/(1/6)

⇒ 3000 = d * 6/1

⇒ 3000 = 6d

⇒ 3000/6 = d

⇒ 500 = d

⇒ d = 500 Km

Therefore the distance covered by aeroplane in 10 minutes is 500 Km.
