Practicing Success
If a person travels at a speed of 56 km/h, he will reach his destination on time. He covers \(\frac{3}{4}\)th of his journey in \(\frac{3}{7}\)th of time. At what speed (in km/h) should he travel to cover the remaining distance to reach his destination on time? |

D = S × T Let, Time is 7 hours Distance = 56 × 7 = 392, Here, He covers \(\frac{3}{4}\)th of his journey in \(\frac{3}{7}\)th of time Now, We have to find the speed to cover the remaining \(\frac{1}{4}\)th journey in \(\frac{4}{7}\)th of the time. Therefore, Speed Time Distance 56 7 392 ↓ ↓ ×\(\frac{4}{7}\) ×\(\frac{1}{4}\) ↓ ↓ 4 98 Speed for remaining journey = \(\frac{98}{4}\) = 24.5 km/h |
