Question

In the hare-tortoise race,the hare ran for 2 min. at a speed of 7.5km/h,slept for 56 min. and again ran for 2 min. at a speed of 7.5km/h. Find the average speed of the hare in race?

Answer 1

D1 = 7.5×2/60= 0.25km

D2= 7.5×2/60= 0.25km

Total Distance= 0.25+0.25=0.50km

Total time taken = 2+2+56=60min= 1 HR

Average speed =total distance/ total time
Average speed= 0.50/1= 0.50 km/hr
