Question

If Joe rides his bike for 15 minutes at 20 km/hour south, how far has he ridden? (Give the answer in km) Watch the units!

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance covered by Joe, d = 5 km

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of Joe, v = 20 km/hour

Time taken by Joe, t = 15 minutes = 0.25 h

We need to find the distance he is covering. It can be calculated using definition of speed as :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$d=v\times t$

$d=20\times 0.25$

d = 5 km

So, Joe covers a distance of 5 km. Hence, this is the required solution.
