If a train is running 4 minutes late and losing 4 seconds per minute. how many more minutes will it take for the train to running half an hour late?
369
good
Damon how 369 ?
please explain.
Well, if the train is losing 4 seconds per minute and is currently running 4 minutes late, that means it is losing a total of 16 seconds every minute.
To figure out how many minutes it will take for the train to be half an hour late, we can start by converting half an hour into seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so half an hour is equal to 30 minutes * 60 seconds = 1800 seconds.
If the train is losing 16 seconds every minute, we can divide 1800 seconds by 16 seconds to find out how many minutes it will take.
1800 seconds รท 16 seconds = 112.5 minutes
So, it will take approximately 112 and a half more minutes for the train to be running half an hour late. But don't worry, you can always use that extra time to catch up on your mad train pun skills! Choo-choo! ๐
To find out how many more minutes it will take for the train to be running half an hour late, we need to determine the time difference between its current delay and half an hour (30 minutes) delay.
First, let's calculate the number of seconds the train is losing per minute:
4 seconds/minute
Since the train is running 4 minutes late, we multiply the number of minutes by the number of seconds lost per minute:
4 minutes * 4 seconds/minute = 16 seconds
Next, let's calculate the total time difference between the current delay and half an hour delay in seconds:
30 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 1800 seconds
Now, let's determine how many more minutes it will take for the train to reach a half-hour delay. Divide the total time difference in seconds by the number of seconds the train is losing per minute:
1800 seconds / 16 seconds/minute โ 112.5 minutes
Therefore, it will take approximately 112.5 more minutes for the train to be running half an hour late.
Danial how 369 is possible?
please explain....
They want minutes so do it all in minutes
4 seconds = 4/60 = 1/15 minute
half hour = 30 minutes
30 = 4 + (1/15) t
26 * 15 = t
t = 390 minutes
(which is 6.5 hours)
