Question

Paheli takes 20 minutes from her house to reach her school on a bicycle. If the

bicycle has a speed of 2 m/s. Calculate the distance between her house and the

school.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that Speed = Distance/ Time.

                    Distance = Speed * Time.

Here speed is 2 m/s

Time = 20 minutes.

Note that speed and time are given in different units. So convert them into same units. That is seconds(since it is much more easier)

1 minute = 60 seconds

20 minute = 60 * 20 = 1200 seconds.

So distance = 1200 * 2 = 2400m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

Here, Distance between Paheli's house and her school is 2.4km or 2400m.

Explanation:

Here, As per our given question,

=Speed of Paheli's bicycle =2m/s

=Time taken by Paheli to her school=20minutes

So, 1min=60s

=20min=60×20

=1200s

Now, Distance between Paheli's house and her school= Distance=Speed ×time

=Distance=2×1200

=Distance=2400m (Answer).

Hence, Distance between Paheli's house and her school is 2400m or 2.4km.

Thank you.
