Question

Hassan can cover 15 km in 3 hours, partly by walking at 3 km/h and partly by cycling at 9 km/h. What distance did he cycle?

Answer 1

Hassan cycled a distance of 6 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance Hassan cycled, we need to subtract the distance he walked from the total distance covered. Let's first calculate the distance he walked by multiplying his walking speed of 3 km/h by the time he walked, which is 3 hours:

Distance walked = Walking speed * Time walked = 3 km/h * 3 hours = 9 km

Now, we can find the distance Hassan cycled by subtracting the distance walked from the total distance covered:

Distance cycled = Total distance covered - Distance walked = 15 km - 9 km = 6 km
