Question

A train covers 550 km in 2 hours . what distance will it cover in 7 1/3 hours​

Answer 1

2016 + 2/3 kilometers

Explanation:

1. First, we should find out how many kilometers the train covers in just 1 hour. To do this, we divide the distance (550 km) by the amount of time (2 hrs).

• 550 km / 2 hrs = 275 km/hr

2. Now we know that for every hour, the train travels 275 kilometers. In other words, we've calculated the conversion factor 275 km/hr. Now that we know this, we can multiply our new time (7 + 1/3 hrs) with our conversion factor 275 km/hr.

• 7 + 1/3 hrs * 275 km/hr = 2016 + 2/3 km
• Multiply the numbers: (7 + 1/3) * 275
• The hr(s) unit cancels out
• Bring the km over

3. Therefore, in 7 + 1/3 hours, the train will cover the distance of 2016 + 2/3 kilometers.

Answer 2

If a train covers 550 km in 2 hours, then its speed is 275 km/h.

Explanation:

To find the distance it will cover in 7 1/3 hours, we can use the formula distance = speed × time.

Substituting the values, we get:

distance = 275 km/h × 22/3 h

Simplifying the expression, we get:

distance = 2016.67 km (approx)

Therefore, the train will cover approximately 2016.67 km in 7 1/3 hours 1.
