Given: Ganesh ran the route between the Town Council and the schoolhouse at a speed of 6 mph in 50 minutes. Deepak drove his car on the same road at a speed of 30 mph.
To find: Time taken by Deepak to complete the distance in minutes
Explanation: Ganesh's speed= 6 mph
Time taken by Ganesh
= 50 minutes
= 50/60 hours ( 1 hour= 60 minutes)
= 5/6 hours
Distance covered
= Speed * Time
= 6 * 5/6 miles
= 5 miles
The distance between town council and schoolhouse is 5 miles.
Speed of car driven by Deepak= 30 mph
Distance to be covered= 5 miles
Time taken
= Distance covered/ Speed
= 5 / 30
= 1/6 hours
To convert hours to minutes, we multiply the given quantity by 60.
1/6 hours = 1/6 * 60 minutes
= 10 minutes
Therefore, Deepak takes 10 minutes to complete the distance.
