Question

A train leaves at 14:56 and arrives at 16:43. It travelled at an average speed of 135 km/h. How far did it travel? Give your answer in km to 1DP.

Answer 1

Answer:

240.8

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Calculate time taken

16:43 - 14:56 = 1 hour and 47 minutes

→ Write the speed formula and make distance the subject

Speed = Distance ÷ Time ⇔ Distance = Speed × Time

→ Convert 1 hour and 47 minutes into decimal format

1.78333333 or  $1\frac{47}{60}$

→ Substitute values into formula

135 ×  $1\frac{47}{60}$  = 240.75
