Question

A train travels at a speed of 45 kmph. In 48 minutes, how much distance will it travel? ( with explanation )

Answer 1

36 km

Explanation:

We are given a speed in km per hour. Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, we can find the speed in km per minute.

45 kph = 45 km/hour = 45 km/(60 minutes) = 0.75 km/minute

Now that we know the speed in km per minute, we multiply the speed by 48 minutes to find the distance traveled in 48 minutes.

0.75 km/minute * 48 minutes = 36 km

Answer 2

36 km

Explanation:

By dividing 45 by 60 you make it into .75 per minute therefore by multiplying by 48 you get your answer which is 36 km
