Answer 1

Hey Ashleshabhise !

Answer:

45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Constant speed

Covers 6 km => 7 minutes 30 seconds

To find :

Time to cover 36 km.

Procedure :

As the distance covered directly proportional to the time taken to cover.

If the car covers 6 km in 7 minutes 30 seconds,

The car covers 36 km in 6 × (7 minutes 30 seconds),

=> Time = 6 × [7+(1/2)] minutes

=> Time = 6 × (15/2) minutes

=> Time = 3 × 15 minutes

=> Time = 45 minutes.

Thanks !
