Piyush is running at the speed of 8 km/hr and he stops for 5 minutes to take rest at the end of every third km. What will be the time taken by Piyush to cover a distance of 56 km?
Given, Distance = 56 km
He takes rest of 5 minutes after every 3 km. Hence, He takes rest every 5 minutes upto 54 km because he reaches destination after 2 km.
Total rest time = $$\dfrac{54}{3}\times5 = 90$$ min
Speed of Piyush = 8 km/hr
Time required to travel 56 km = $$\dfrac{56}{8} = 7$$ hours
Therefore, Total time required to travel 56 km = 7 hours + 1 hour 30 minutes = 8 hours 30 minutes
