Question

Santa's sleigh covered a total distance of 5797 kilometres averaging a speed of 38

km/h in snow storm conditions and 91 km/h in clear skies. His deliveries took 87
hours. How many hours did Santa spend in snow storms? (Hint distance = speed
x time)

Answer 1

152.6 hours

Explanation:

Distance = Speed × Time

Time = Distance/Speed

Santa's sleigh covered a total distance of 5797 kilometres averaging a speed of 38 km/h in snow storm conditions

Hence: Time Santa spent in snow storms is calculated as:

5797km ÷ 38 km/h

= 152.55263158 hours

Approximately = 152.6 hours
