Question

In 15 minutes a car whose speed is 60 km h-1 travels a distance of

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance =speed *time

Therefore distance= 60*15/60

=15 km

Answer 2

Given:

Speed of car, s= 60 km/h

Time, t= 15 min

To Find:

Distance travelled by car

Diagram:

$\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}\thicklines\begin{picture}(30,15)\put(1.85,1.1){\oval(2.5,1.6)[t]}\put(1.85,1.1){\oval(2.28,1.36)[t]}\put(0.7,1.2){\line(1,0){2.3}}\put(1.85,1.2){\line(0,1){0.6}}\put(0,0){\line(1,0){6.5}}\put(0.1,0.3){\line(1,0){0.5}}\put(1.2,0.3){\line(1,0){1.42}}\put(3.2,0.3){\line(1,0){0.5}}\put(1.9,0.3){\oval(3.6,1.6)[t]}\put(3.2,0.69){\line(1,0){0.2}}\put(3.2,0.69){\line(0,1){0.2}}\qbezier(3.2,0.89)(3.44,0.82)(3.4,0.69)\put(0.43,0.69){\line(1,0){0.2}}\put(0.6,0.69){\line(0,1){0.2}}\qbezier(0.43,0.69)(0.3,0.8)(0.6,0.89)\put(1,2.8){\vector(1,0){1.5}}\put(1,2.4){ s=60km/h }\put(3.8,2.4){ t=\dfrac{1}{4}h }}\put(0.9,0.3){\circle{0.55}}\put(2.9,0.3){\circle{0.55}}\put(0.9,0.3){\circle*{0.3}}\put(2.9,0.3){\circle*{0.3}}\end{picture}$

Solution:

We know that,

• $\pink{\boxed{\bf{Distance=Speed\times Time}}}$

$\rule{190}{1}$

It is given that,

$\longrightarrow\rm{t=15\ min=\dfrac{15}{60}\ h=\dfrac{1}{4}\ h}$

$\rule{190}{1}$

Let the distance travelled by car be d

So,

$\longrightarrow\rm{d=s\times t}$

$\longrightarrow\rm{d=\cancel{60}\times\dfrac{1}{\cancel{4}}}$

$\longrightarrow\rm\green{d=15\ km}$

Hence, distance travelled by car is 15 km.
