Answers
Given :
- Paheli takes 20 minutes from her house to reach her school on a bicycle. If the bicycle has a speed of 2 m/s.
To Find :
- The distance between paheli's house and the school.
Solution :
- Time = 20 minutes
- Speed = 2 m/s
First of all covert the time from minutes to seconds :
As we know that,
→ 1 minute = 60 seconds
Therefore,
→ Time = 20 minutes
→ Time = 20 × 60
→ Time = 1200 seconds
- Hence, the time taken by the paheli to reach her school on a bicycle from her house is 1200 seconds .
Now, let's calculate the distance between paheli's house and the school :
➻ Distance = Speed × Time
➻ Distance = 2 × 1200
➻ Distance = 2400 m
- Hence,the distance between paheli's house and the school is 2400 m.

Extra brainly knowledge :
Speed of an object is defined as the distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity It is composed only of the magnitude but the direction is absent. Mathematically, it is given by :
- Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Given:
Time taken is 20 minutes.
Time taken is 20 minutes.Speed of bicycle is 2 m/s.
To Find:
distance between house and school..
Solution:
Let the distance be d. Changing time into seconds.
1 minute = 60 seconds
20 minutes = 20(60) = 1200 seconds
Now we have
Distance = d
Time = 1200 seconds
Speed = 2 m/s
As we know that
Distance = Speed(Time)
Putting the value on formula
D = 2 x 1200
D = 2400 m
Changing distance in km
1000 m = 1000 km
2400 m = 2400/1000 = 2.4km
Hence, the distance between house and school is 2.4 km
