Question

An eagle was flying at a height of$200\mathrm{m}.$ It went up by $2\mathrm{m}$ every minute. How many hours will it take for it to reach $252\mathrm{m}$? Write it as an integer.

Answer 1

Step :1 To find out the distance covered by eagle in 1 min

Given that an eagle was flying at a height of $200m$but the eagle want to reach at the height of $252m$

Now, the distance needs to cover by eagle$=252m-200m=52m$

Time taken by the eagle to cover distance of$2\mathrm{m}=1\min$

Step : 2 To find out the time taken by Eagle to reach $252\mathrm{m}$

Time taken by the eagle to cover distance of$52m$ $=\frac{1}{2}\times 52\Rightarrow 26min$

Now, we know that$60\min =1\mathrm{hr}$

so, $26\min$ $=\frac{1}{60}\times 26hr$

$=\frac{13}{30}\mathrm{hr}.$

Hence, time taken by eagle to reach up to $252\mathrm{m}$ is $\frac{13}{30}\mathrm{hr}.$
