Question

Find the distance traveled (in metres) in meters in the following:

(a) at a speed of 55 km/h in 2 hours

(b) at a speed of 40 km/h in $\frac{1}{4}$ hours

• A. 11000 m, 1000 m
• B. 120000 m, 1000 m
• C. 110000 m, 10000 m
• D. 1100 m, 100 m

Answer 1

The correct option is C

110000 m, 10000 m

(a) Speed = 55 km/h, time taken = 2 hours
Distance = 55 x 2 = 110 km = 110000 m
(b) Speed = 40 km/h, time taken = $\frac{1}{4}$ hours
Distance = 40 $\times$ $\frac{1}{4}$ = 10 km = 10000 m
