Question

A loaded truck covers 16 km in 25 minutes. At the same speed, how far can it travel in 5 hours?

Solution

At the same speed, if distance is more the time taken will also be more therefore it's directly proportional.
Let us consider the distance covered as x km , as the unit of time is different so we write it as 25 min=25/60 hr
25/60×x=16×5

x=80×6025=192 km

The truck can travel 192 km in 5 hrs.
