Question

Ramesh takes 15 minutes to reach market from his house on this cycle. If the speed of his cycle is 4 m/s calculate the distance between his house and market?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.6 Km

Explanation:

As the question tells,

Ramesh takes 15 minutes to reach market from his house on his cycle and the speed of the cycle is 4m/s.

So, Total distance between market and his house =

Total distance covered by Ramesh's cycle in 15 minutes with a speed of 4m/s.

i.e. 4x60m in 1 minute.(as 4m in 1 sec, so in 60 seconds, 4x60m)

=240m

So, he travels 240m in 1 minute.

So, in 15 minutes, he will travel

15x240 = 3600m = 3.6Km

So, the distance between his house and the market is 3.6Km

Answer 2

Given:

Ramesh takes 15 minutes to reach market from his house on this cycle and the speed of his cycle is 4 m/s.

To find:

Distance between house and market ?

Calculation:

• Distance is a scalar quantity which can be calculated by multiplying the speed with time taken.

• 15 minutes = 15 × 60 = 900 seconds.

• Let distance be D :

$\therefore \: D = v \times t$

$\implies \: D = 4 \times 900$

$\implies \: D = 3600 \: m$

$\implies \: D = 3.6 \: km$

So, distance between house and market is 3.6 km.
