Question

It takes 50 mins to travel 50 km by a car what is the speed of the car

Answer 1

Answer:

16.67 metres per second is the speed of the car

Answer 2

The speed of the car is 50/3 m/s

Or 16.77 m/s

Given:

• Time taken by the car = 50 minutes
• The distance of the car = 50 km

To find:

The speed of the car

Now,

converting minutes into seconds, we get,

1 min = 60 sec

50 minutes = 50*60

50 minutes = 3000 sec

Now,

Converting km to m

1km = 1000m

50km = 50*1000

50km = 50000 m

We know that

• Speed = distance/time

Speed of the car = (distance covered by car)/(time taken by car)

Speed = distance/time

Speed = 50000/3000

Speed = 50/3 m/s
