Question

At 5 30 a fisherman sets off on his journey in his boat. He travels a distance of 12km at an average speed of 15km/h. At what time did he reach his destination?

Answer 1

Find the duration of the travel:

Time = Distance ÷ Speed

Time = 12 ÷ 15 = 4/5 hour

Convert 4/5 hour into minutes:

4/5 hour = 4/5 x 60 = 48mins

Find the time he will reach his destination:

5.30 am + 48 = 6.18am

Answer: He will reach his destination at 6.18 am
