Question

If a bus travels 160 km in 4 hours and a train travels 320 km in 5 hours at uniform speed,the ratio of the ratio of the distance travelled by them them in 1 hour is?

Answer 1

Answer:

5:8

Step-by-step explanation:

160/4 = 40km/hr

320/5 = 64km/hr

40÷8/64÷8 = 5/8 or 5:8

Answer 2

Answer: 5:8

Step-by-step explanation: speed = distance/time

speed of bus = distance(160 km)/time(4 hrs)

                       =160/4 = 40 km/hr

this means that the bus travels 40 km in one hour

speed of train= distance(320 km)/time(5 hours)

                       = 320/5  = 64 km/hr

this means that the train travels 64 km in one hour

because the speed is uniform for both train and bus

ratio of their distance traveled in one hour is => 40/64=  5/8
