Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

• 3.6 kilometers.

Explanation:

Given:-

• Speed , s = 4m/s

• Time taken ,t = 15 min

To Find:-

• Distance between his house & market ,D

Solution:-

As we have to calculate the distance between his house and market.

Firstly we convert the unit of time into second

→ 15min = 15×60s

= 900 s

Distance travelled by a body is defined as the product of speed & time.

• D = s×t

where,

• D denote distance
• s denote speed
• t denote time

Substitute the value we calculate

→ D = 4×900

→ D = 3600 m

As,

1000m = 1 km

therefore, 3600m = 3600/1000 = 3.6 km

• Hence, the distance between his house and market is 3.6 kilometers.

Answer 2

Given :

• Time taken by mahesh to reach the maket from his house on his cycle is 15 minutes.
• The speed of the cycle is 4 m/s.

$\;\large\underbrace{\underline{\sf{Understanding\;the\;Concept}}}$

In question, We are given the values of time taken and speed of the cycle to reach from ramesh home to market. To find the distance between the ramesh house and market, we have to multiply speed with the time.

To calculate :

• The distance between his house and market = ?

Solution :

To find the distance = ?

We know that,

$\quad \red{\underline{\boxed{\sf Distance \ = \ Speed \times Time}}}$

Put the given values in the above formula.

$\implies \sf Distance \ = \ 4 \times 15$

$\implies \sf Distance \ = \ 60 \ meters.$

Now,

Converting meter into kilometres,

$\implies \sf 60 \times 60 \ = \ 3600 km$

$\implies \sf \dfrac {3600}{1000}$

$\implies \sf 3.6 \ km$

$\therefore$ The distance between the ramesh house and market is 3.6 km.
