A loaded truck travels 14 km in 25 minutes. If the speed remains the same, how far can it travel in 5 hours? [2 MARKS]

Answer 1

Concept : 1 Mark
Solution: 1 Mark

$x_1=14$ and $y_1=25minutes$

$x_2=?$ and $y_2=300minutes$

$\frac{x_1}{y_1}=\frac{x_2}{y_2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{14}{25}=\frac{x_2}{300}$

$\Rightarrow x_2=\frac{14\times 300}{25}=168Kms$.
