How much distance can it cover in 5 hours while
travelling at the same speed?

Answer 1

260 km for 300 mins

Explanation:

There are 300 minutes in 5 hours

16 km for 30 mins

32 km for 60 mins

48 km for 90 mins

64 km for 120 mins

80 km for 150 mins

96 km for 180 mins

112 km for 210 mins

128 km for 240 mins

144 km for 270 mins

160 km for 300 mins
