Question

A car travelled at 50 km/hr for 3 hours How far did the car travel?

Answer 1

Answer:

25km

Step-by-step explanation:

50 km = x km

1 hr        3 hrs

From there, you cross-multiply and solve for x.

(50 km)*(3 hrs) = (x km)*(1 hr)

x km = (50)*(3)/(1) = 150km

Now, your other question can be answered the exact same way. 30 minutes is the same as 1/2 of an hour, so just put 0.5hrs in where the 3hrs was in the previous problem. So to show you how it works once more, here are your calculations:

50 km = x km

1 hr        0.5 hrs

(50 km)*(0.5 hrs) = (x km)*(1 hr)

x km = (50)*(0.5)/(1) = 25km

I hope that helps!
