Question

The average speed of a bus is 3 1/2 (mixed fraction)times the average speed of a tractor. the tractor covers 532kms in 19 hrs. how much distance will the bus covers in 13 hrs. please show how it is solved

Answer 1

Given

speed of bus =3 1/2 times of tractor

=7/2 km times of tractor

Now speed of the tractor =532km/19hrs

=28km/hrs

i.e. the tractor covers 28 km in 1 hr

so, the bus will covers distance in 1 hr= 7/2×28km

=98km

So the bus will covers distance in13 hrs=(98×13)km

=1274km
