Question

The distance between your home and school is 1.5 km. If you start cycling from home at a speed of 5 m/s, how long will it take to reach the school?
Give your answer in minutes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed= Distance /time

Distance=1.5km

Time=Distance/speed

=1500m/5m/s

=300s

Convert it into minutes...

=5 minutes

Answer 2

Distance to be travelled (d) = 1.5km

= 1500 m

Speed of the cycle (s) = 5 m/s

Time taken to teacher the destination (t) = unknown

We have, Speed = Distance/time

=> S = d/t

=> t = d/S

= 1500/5

= 300 seconds

= 300/60 minutes

t = 5 minutes.

Thus, I will take 5 minute to reach the school.
