Question

A car is travelling $48km$ in one hour. The distance travelled by the car in $12mins$ is _________.

Answer 1

Step 1: Given

Distance, $s=48km$

Time, $t=1hour=60mins$ and $t\text{'}=12mins$

Step 2: Formula used

$Speed=\frac{Dis\tan ce}{Time}$

Step 3: Determine the speed

$$\begin{gathered} Speed=\frac{Dis\tan ce}{Time} \\ =\frac{48}{60} \\ =0.8km/min \end{gathered}$$

Step 4: Determine the distance

$$\begin{gathered} Dis\tan ce=Speed\times time \\ =0.8\times 12 \\ =9.6km \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the distance travelled by the car in $12mins$ is $9.6km$.
