A car travels at an average speed of 100k-m/hr what distance does it cover in 5min.hint speed=distance/time
d = speed * time
d = (100 km/60 min) * 5 min
d = 25/3
well, 5min = 1/12 hr.
Now use the hint.
To find the distance covered by the car in 5 minutes, we can use the formula for speed, which is distance divided by time.
Given:
Average speed = 100 km/hr
Time = 5 minutes
However, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours since the speed is given in kilometers per hour.
To convert minutes to hours, we divide the given time by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour).
Time (in hours) = 5 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 5/60 hour = 1/12 hour
Now that we have the time in hours, we can use the formula to calculate the distance:
Speed = Distance / Time
Rearranging the formula to solve for distance, we get:
Distance = Speed * Time
Substituting the given values:
Distance = 100 km/hr * (1/12) hour
Simplifying:
Distance = (100 km * 1) / (12 hr)
Distance = 8.33 km
Therefore, the car covers a distance of approximately 8.33 km in 5 minutes.
