Question

Zara travelled in a train moving at an average speed of 120km/h and covered a distance of 40km towards East. 1. Calculate the time taken by the train to cover this distance.

Answer 1

0.33 hours or 20 minutes

Explanation:

Speed is given as distance divided by time.

That is:

s = d / t

Therefore, time will be:

t = d / s

The train traveled a distance of 40 km at 120 km/h. Therefore, the time taken will be:

t = 40/120 = 0.33 hours or 20 minutes
