Question

If the distance covered by a car in 4 hours is 240 km then the distance covered by the car in 1.5 hours is _____.

• A. 90 km
• B. 60 km
• C. 180 km
• D. 30 km

Answer 1

The correct option is A

90 km

Given, the distance covered by the car in 4 hours = 240 km

Hence the distance covered by the car in 1 hour = $\frac{240}{4}$ = 60 km

Hence the distance covered by the car in $1\frac{1}{2}$ = $60\times 1\frac{1}{2}$
= $60\times \frac{3}{2}$
= 90 km

$\therefore$ The total distance covered in 1.5 hours = 90 km
