Question

The average speed of a car is 75km/hr how many meters can the car travel.in 20 min

Answer 1

Let's find what fraction 20 minutes is of one hour.

One hour= 60 minutes
$\frac{20}{60} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$
So, 20 minutes is a third of one hour.

All we have to do is multiply 1/3 by 75 since we are not trying to find what the car travels in one hour, but in one third of an hour.
$75 * \frac{1}{3}$ or 75÷3
25

So, the car travels 25 km in 20 minutes.

Now we need to convert km to meters.
1 km= 1000 meters
25 km=25,000 meters

So, the car travels 25,000 meters in 20 minutes.

Answer 2

To find the distance the car travels in 20 minutes, we need to figure out what part of an hour 20 minutes is. 20 minutes is 1/3 of an hour (60/20). Now, to find the distance in 20 minutes, we need to multiply the speed per hour by 1/3. 75 * 1/3 is 25. That means this car goes 25 km in 20 minutes. Now we have to convert 25 km to meters. Since there are 1000 meters in a kilometer, we have to multiply 25 by 1000. 25 * 1000 is 25,000, meaning that the car will travel 25,000 meters in 20 minutes.
