sujata drives her car at a constant speed if she travels 25 km in 30 minutes how long will she take to travel 120 km
Answers
Answer:
two and two /five hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed =Distance /time
=25/1/2
= 25*2. 30 minutes =1/2hour
= 50 km/h
time =distance /speed
= 120/50
= 12/5
=2 2/5 hour
Given:
The distance traveled by Sujata = 25km
The time taken to travel the distance = 30 minutes
To Find:
The time taken by Sujata to travel 120 km
Solution:
The speed of the car = The distance traveled / The time taken
= 25 X 1000 / 30 X 60 (Substituting data in SI units)
(We know that 1 km = 1000m and 1 minute = 60 seconds)
= 250 / 18 ms⁻¹
It is given that Sujata is driving at a constant speed
⇒ The time taken by her to travel 120 km = t = distance / speed
=
or t = 12 X 100 X 18 / 25 seconds
Dividing by 60 to convert it into minutes,
t = 12 X 4 X 18 / 60
t = 864 / 60
= 14.4 minutes
