Question

A car travels 195 km in 3 hours.
(i) How long will it take to travel 520 km?
(ii) How far will it travel in 7 hours with the same speed?

Answer 1

(i) Time taken by the car to travel 195 km = 3 hours
Time taken by it to travel 1 km = $\frac{3}{195}$ hours
Time taken by it to travel 520 km = 520$\times \frac{3}{195}$= 8 hours
(ii) Distance covered by the car in 3 hours = 195 km
Distance covered by it in 1 hour =$\frac{195}{3}$= 65 km
Distance covered by it in 7 hours = 7 × 65 = 455 km
