A car travels at a speed of 70km/h. What distance will it cover in 30 minutes
time = 30 minutes = 30/60 hour = 0.5 hour
speed = 70 km/hour
Use the equation
Distance = time * speed
to find distance, AFTER making sure the units used are consistent.
time = 30 minutes = 30/60 hour = 0.5 hour
speed = 70 km/h
Distance = time * speed
Distance = 0.5 * 70 km/h
DISTANCE = 35
To calculate the distance a car will cover in 30 minutes, you need to use the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
Here, the speed is given as 70 km/h and the time is 30 minutes. However, for calculations, it is better to convert the time to hours since the speed is given in km/h.
To convert 30 minutes to hours, divide it by 60 because there are 60 minutes in an hour:
30 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.5 hours
Now, we can use the formula to calculate the distance:
Distance = 70 km/h × 0.5 hours
Distance = 35 km
Therefore, the car will cover a distance of 35 kilometers in 30 minutes.
