A train is moving at a speed of 120kmph. How far will it travel in 36 min |
|
Answer» Step-by-step explanation: 20 min. = 20 min.(1) = 20 min. (1 hr./60 min.) min. since there are 60 MINUTES in 1 hour. = (20 min./60 min.)(1 hr.) = (20/60) hr. (Note: the "minute" units cancelled out) = (1/3) hr. Now, substituting into the "DISTANCE-rate-time" formula for time t and for speed r to find distance d traveled, we have: d = rt = (120 km/hr)[(1/3) hr.] = (120/3) km. d = 40 km. is the distance COVERED by a train TRAVELLING at a constant speed or an AVERAGE speed of 120 km/hr. in 20 minutes. |
