Question

laurens suv was detected exceeding the posted speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour , how many kilometers would she have been traveling over the limit is she had covered a distance of 10 kilometers in 5 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

60 kilometers per hour (kmph) over the limit

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed limit is 60 kmph

Let's find his original rate:

We know D = RT

Where

D is the distance, in km

R is the rate, in kmph

T is the time in hours

He went 10 km in 5 minutes, so we need the time in hours, first. That would be:

5/60 = 1/12 hour

So, putting into formula, we find rate:

D = RT

10 = R(1/12)

R = 10/(1/12)

R = 10 * 12

R = 120 kmph

He was going over by:

120 - 60 = 60 kmph
