Question* A cyclist covers half as much distance again as car driver, and the car driver half as much again as a man on foot. If a man can walk a distance of 3 km in one hour how much will it take a cyclist to cover a distance of 27 km?
Answers
let c = the cyclist speed (speed and dist are directly related)
"cyclist covers half as much as distance as a tanga driver,"
t = 2c tanga speed (whatever that is)
:
man's speed is 3 km/hr
"the tanga driver half as much again as a man on foot.
t = 1.5(3)
t = 4.5 km/hr
:
Find the cyclist speed
2c = 4.5
c = 4.5/2
c = 2.25 km/hr
"how much time will cyclist require to cover a distance of 27 km"
t = 27/2.25
t = 12 hrs
Answer:
Ans will be 4 hours.
Explanation:
Explanation: *Half as much as means half more than the next given*
so,
let c = the cyclist speed
"cyclist covers half as much as distance as a Tonga driver,"
which is equal to 1.5 more than t.
t = Tonga speed
man's speed is 3 km/hr
the Tonga driver half as much again as a man on foot.
which means
t = 1.5(3)
t = 4.5 km/hr
Find the cyclist speed
"cyclist covers half as much as distance as a tonga driver
which means
c= 1.5 (4.5)
c= 6.75 km/hour
"how much time will cyclist require to cover a distance of 27 km
time for 27 will be
time = 27/6.75
time= 4 hours
