Question

A taxi hurries for 1 hour 54min with a constant speed of 93km and then for another 5 hours 15min with a constant speed of 72km. What distance did it go

Answer 1

Speed = 93km /h and 72km/h

Answer: The taxi went a distance of 554.7km

Explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Distance covered in the first trip = Speed x Time

Time = 1 hour 54 min =1+0.9 hours =1.9hours

=93km / h x 1.9 hours =176.7km

Distance covered in the second trip = Speed x Time

Time = 5 hours 15min = 5+0.25hours =5.25hours

=72km / h x 5.25hours =378 km

Total distance =176.7km+378 km

=554.7km
