A vehicle traveling at a rate of 180 km/h will cover what distance in 25 minutes?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 75 km
Distance \(=\) speed \(\times\) time, with the time in the same unit as the speed. The speed is given per hour, so the 25 minutes are first written as a part of an hour.
25 minutes in hours: \(\displaystyle\frac{25}{60}=\frac{5}{12}\) hour
Distance covered in that time: \(\displaystyle 180\times\frac{5}{12}=75\) km
