Practicing Success
A journey of 900 km is completed in 11 h. If two-fifth of the journey is completed at the speed of 60 km/h. at what speed ( in km/h) is the remaining journey completed? |
108 72 84 90 |
108 |
total distance = 900 km Total time = 11 hours \(\frac{2}{5}\) th of totaal distance = \(\frac{2}{5}\) × 900 = 360 km Time taken to cover 360 km with 60 km/h = \(\frac{Distance}{Speed}\) = \(\frac{360}{60}\) = 6 hours Remaining time = 11 - 6 = 5 hours Remaining time = 900 - 360 = 540 km Speed required to cover 540 km in 5 hours = \(\frac{Distance}{Time}\) = \(\frac{540}{5}\) = 108 km/h |
