Question

II. A man can cover 175 km in 5 hours. Find his speed in m/min ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance=175000m

Time=300min

Speed=Distance÷Time

=583.33m/min

Answer 2

As per the data given in the above question,

It is given that a man can cover 175 km in 5 hours.

We have to find the speed in m/min.

Thus the value given in the question is in Km and hour so we have to convert it into meters and minutes.

1 km = 1000meters

175 km $=175\times 1000=175000m$

1 hour = 60 minutes

5 hours $=5\times 60=300min$

So, speed is equal to distance upon a time,

$=\frac{175000}{300}$

Cancelling two zeroes we get,

$=\frac{1750}{3}$

$=583.33\approx583\:m/min$

Hence the speed is $583 \:m/min$
