Answers
Answer:
No, he arrives at 10:06 am which is past 10:00 am.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the arrival time we need to calculate the time taken to reach London.
Given the speed and the distance covered we can get the time using the formula below :
Time = Distance / speed
Distance = 156 miles
Speed = 60 miles per hour
We substitute this in the formula as follows :
Time = 156/60 = 2.6 hours
We can convert this to hours and minutes as follows :
6/10 × 60 = 36 minutes
Kim takes 2 hours 36 minutes.
The arrival time is :
7 : 30 + (2hrs 36 minutes) =
10 : 06 a.m
Kim arrives at 10:06 am which is past 10:00 am.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
No, she will not arrive London before 10:00 am.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that:
Kim drives 156 miles from Rotherham to London.
She drives at an average speed of 60 miles per hour.
i.e. in one hour she drives 60 miles.
Hence she covers 1 mile in 1/60 hours.
Now she has to travel 156 miles.
i.e. it takes her:
156/60 hours=2.6 hours.
i.e. it takes her 2 hours and 36 minutes to reach from Rotherham to London.
(
since 0.6 hours=36 minutes.
As 1 hour= 60 minutes.
so, 0.6 hours=0.6×60=36 minutes ).
Hence, if she start from Rotherham at 7:30 am.
Then she will reach London at:
7:30+2.6=10:06 am.
Hence, she will reach London after 10 am.
