Question

Hrithik travelled in a train moving at an average speed of 120km/h and covered a distance of
40km towards East.
i. Calculate the time taken by the train to cover this distance.

Answer 1

Answer:

The time taken to travel 40km is 1/3 hours or 20 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the formula to calculate speed is Time = Distance/Speed. Then, you have to substitute the values into the formula :

$time=distance \div speed$

$let \: distance = 40 \\ let \: speed = 120$

$t = 40 \div 120$

$t = 1 \div 3$

$t = \frac{1}{3} hours \: \: or \: \: 20minutes$
