Question

tim drives at an average of 80km per hour for 3 hours 45 minutes. work out how many kilometres tim drives

Answer 1

300 km

Explanation:

Tim drives 80 km in 1 hour or 60 minutes

Tim drives in 1 minute = 80/60 km

so, tim drives in 3 hours 45 minutes ( 225 minutes)

`(80 * 225)/(60)`

= 300 km

Answer 2

Tim covered 21.333 kilometers

Kilometers, km covered is distance, d

d = speed / time

d = 80 / 3 hours 45 mins

Converting 45 mins to hours we have

1 hour = 60 minutes

? Hours = 45 minutes

? = 45 / 60 = 0.75

So time is 3.75 hours

d = 80 / 3.75

= 64 / 3

= 21.333km

hope it helps
