Question

Atrain covers a distance of 250 km in 2 hours and a aeroplane covers a distance of 750 km in 3 hours.find the ratio the speed of train to aeroplane.

Answer 1

Train :

2 hours = 250 km

1 hour = 250 ÷ 2 = 125 km

Aeroplane :

3 hours = 750 km

1 hour = 750 ÷ 3 = 250 km

Find the ratio :

Train : Aeroplane = 125 : 250

Simplify:

Train : Aeroplane = 125 ÷ 125  : 250  ÷ 125

Train : Aeroplane = 1  : 2

Answer: The ratio is 1 : 2

Answer 2

hello

here is your answer

given train covers a distance 250km in 2hours

so, in 1 hour it covers = 250÷2 = 125km

given an aeroplane covers a distance 750km in 3 hours

so , in 1 hour it covers = 750÷3 = 250km

finding the ratio--

train : aeroplane

125 : 250

125/125 : 250/125

1 : 2 .

hence , required ratio is 1 : 2.

hope it helps you...
