Question

State whether true or false:

Given: The ship's average speed over the $9$ kilometers was greater than $55$ meters per minute.

It took the ship less than $3$ hours to travel $9$ kilometers. (1 kilometer = 1,000 meters)

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Given, Distance $=9$ km $=9000m$

And Time $=55m/s$

Time $=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

$=\frac{9000}{55}=163.63$ min.

Time $=2.72$ hours $<3$ hours

If the speed increases, then the time taken to travel the same distance will decrease.
