Question

Distances travelled by Hamid and Akhtar in an hour are 9 km and 12 km. Find the ratio of speed of Hamid to the speed of Akhtar.

Answer 1

speed h=9/1
speed a=12/1
speed h/speed a=12/9
= 4/3
so the ratio is 4:3

Answer 2

Answer :

We know that,

The speed of an object is the distance travelled by it in an hour.

Now,

It is given in the question that,

Distance travelled by Hamid in 1 hour = 9 km

Also,

Distance travelled by Akhtar in 1 hour = 12 km

Therefore,

Speed of Hamid = 9 km/h

Also,

Speed of Akhtar = 12 km/h

Hence,

We can calculate the ratio of speed of Hamid to the speed of Akhtar as follows:

= 9/12

= 3/4
