Practicing Success
A man walking at a rate of 4 km/h crossed a tunnel in 18 minutes. What is the length of the tunnel in meters? |
1800 1400 1200 1600 |
1200 |
Speed = 4 km/h 4 km/h = 4 × \(\frac{5}{18}\) = \(\frac{10}{9}\) m/sec Time = 18 minutes = 18 × 60 sec = 1080 sec Distance = Speed × Time = \(\frac{10}{9}\) × 1080 = 1200 m |
