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:

The distance cover for speed limit of 60 kilometer per hour is 5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The exceed speed limited of Laurens suv = 60 kmph

The time taken cover the distance of 10 km is 5 min

So, time =  $\frac{5}{60}$ hour

Or, time =  $\frac{1}{12}$ hour

So, the speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

I.e   speed = $\frac{10}{\frac{1}{12}}$ hour

Or,  speed = 120 kmph

∵ For the speed of  120 kmph , the distance cover = 10 km

∴ For the speed of 60 kmph the distance cover= $\frac{10}{120}$ ×60

I,e For the speed of 60 kmph ,the distance cover =  $\frac{600}{120}$

or,  For the speed of 60 kmph ,the distance cover = 5 km

Hence The distance cover for speed limit of 60 kilometer per hour is 5 km . Answer
