Question

How far, D, does a vehicle travel if it is moving at a rate, r, of 60 km/h and it travels for t =150 minutes? Use the formula D=rt.

Answer 1

The distance of a vehicle travel is 150 km, at a moving rate of 60 km/h for 150 minutes.

Explanation:

The given is,

Moving rate, r = 60 km/h

Time, t = 150 minutes

Step:1

We need to find the distance traveled by the vehicle,

From given the formula is

D = rt

Where,

D = Distance in Km

r = Moving rate in Km/h

t = Time in hours

Step:2

We need to convert the time minutes to hours

t =
`(150)/(60)` hours

t = 2.5 hours

Step:3

Distance traveled by the vehicle is,

D = 60 × 2.5

= 150

D = 150 Km

Result:

The distance traveled by the vehicle is 150 Km at a moving rate of 60 km/h for 150 minutes.
