Question 59

How many minutes does Vishwa take to cover a distance of 1300 m if he runs at a speed of 26 km/h?

Solution

1000 m = 1 km

1300 m = 1.3 km

TIme taken to cover the given distance = $$\frac{distance}{speed}$$

= $$\frac{1.3}{26}$$

= $$\frac{1}{20}$$ hour

Here options are given in minutes. So we need to convert $$\frac{1}{20}$$ hour into minute.

= $$\frac{1}{20}\times60$$ minutes [1 hour = 60 minutes]

= 3 minutes
