Answer:

The distance between the two villages is 16.5 Km

Explanation:

Constant Speed Motion

It's a type of motion in which the distance of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

If v is the constant speed, the object travels a distance x in a time t, given by the equation:

x=vt

Amar cycles at v=18 Km/h for t=55 minutes. We need to calculate the distance traveled between the two villages.

Since the speed and the time are given in different units, we convert the time to hours, recalling that 1 hour=60 minute.

t=55 min = 55/60 hours

For the sake of precision, we won't operate the division so far. Compute the distance:

x=18 *55/60=16.5 Km

The distance between the two villages is 16.5 Km
