Question

. If the distance travelled by a rickshaw in one hour is 10km, then the distance travelled by the same rickshaw with the same speed in one minute is

Answer 1

Answer :

The required distance is 1/6 km

Step-by-step explanation :

Given :

• The distance travelled by a rickshaw in one hour is 10km

To find :

• the distance travelled by the same rickshaw with the same speed in one minute

Solution :

 First, we have to find the speed.

Formula :

  $\underline{\boxed{\sf speed=\dfrac{distance}{time}}}$

In the first case,

Distance = 10 km

Time taken = 1 hour

 $\sf Speed=\dfrac{10 km}{1 hr} \\\\ \sf \longrightarrow speed=10 \ km/hr$

In the second case,

 Speed = 10 km/hr

Time taken = 1 min

Distance = ?

   $\sf \implies Speed=\dfrac{distance}{time} \\\\ \sf 10 \ km/hr =\dfrac{distance}{1 \ min} \\\\ \sf Distance=10 \ km/hr \times 1 min \\\\ \sf Distance=10 \ km/60 min \times 1 min \\\\ \sf Distance=\dfrac{1}{6} km$

Therefore, the distance is 1/6 km
