Question

A car covers a distance of $180$ km is $5$ hours.
How much time will the car take to cover $54$ km at the same speed?

Answer 1

Given

Distance covered by car in $5$ hours $=180$ km

Hence time taken by the car to cover $54$ km distance can be calculated as below

Time is taken by the car to cover $180$ km distance $=5$ hours

Time is taken by the car to cover $1$ km distance $=5/180$ hour

Time taken to cover 54 distance by car $=5/180\times 54$

$=1.5$ hours

∴ Time taken to cover $54$ km distance by the car is $1.5$ hours
