Question

Moana's motorcycle travels for 6 hours 30 minutes at an average speed of 50 kph. How far does she travel in total?

Answer 1

325 km

Explanation:

we are given the average speed of Moana's motorcycle and we want to figure out her total distance to do so convert hours to minutes so,

• 6×60+30 minutes
• 360+30
• 390

therefore,

`\begin{array}{ccc} \rm 60\: minutes \implies 50kph \\ \displaystyle\rm1 \: minutes \implies (50)/(60) kph \\ \\ \displaystyle \rm390 \: minutes \: \implies (50)/(60) * 390kph \\ \xrightarrow{ \rm reduce \: fraction} \displaystyle (5)/(6)* 390 \\ \displaystyle \xrightarrow{ \rm \: reduce\: fraction}5 * 65 \\ \xrightarrow{ \rm \: simplify\: multiplication}325\end{array}`

hence,

she travels 325 km in total
