Question

Shekar drove his car at a speed of
6 2/5 km/hr. What is the distance
travelled in 5 1/2 hours?​

Answer 1

Answer:

speed = 32/5 kmph

time=11/2 hours

distance = 32/5×11/2

=352/10

=35.2 km

=3520m

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance travelled by Shekar  is $35\frac{1}{5}$km

Explanation:

Given, Shekar drive his car at a speed of $6\frac{2}{5}$ km/hr.

Speed = $\frac{32 }{5}$km/hr

and time taken by the car = $5\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{11}{2}$hr

• Speed indicates how quickly something or someone is moving. If we know how far something has travelled and how long it took to get there, you can calculate its average speed.

As we know that formula for speed,

Speed = $\frac{Distance\ travel }{Time \ taken}$

So, distance is equal to  product of speed and the total time taken by an object.

⇒Distance = Speed × Time

⇒Distance = $\frac{32}{5}$ . $\frac{11}{2}$ = $\frac{176}{5}$ = $35\frac{1}{5}$km.

Final answer:

Hence, the distance travelled by Shekar  is $35\frac{1}{5}$km.
