To find the distance from town K to town H, we need to convert the time taken by Mr. Tan from minutes to hours.
Mr. Tan's speed is given as 66 km/h and it took him 50 minutes to reach town H. Since 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, we can calculate the time taken by Mr. Tan in hours:
50 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 0.83 hours
Next, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
Distance = 66 km/h × 0.83 hours
Distance = 54.78 km
Therefore, the distance from town K to town H is approximately 54.78 km.
Now, let's determine the time Mr. Wong started his journey.
We're given that both Mr. Tan and Mr. Wong arrived at town H at 2.35 pm. As Mr. Tan's journey took 50 minutes, we can subtract this from the arrival time to find the time he started his journey:
2.35 pm - 0.50 hour (50 minutes converted to hours) = 1.85 pm
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we convert 0.85 hours to minutes:
0.85 × 60 = 51 minutes
So, Mr. Tan started his journey at approximately 1.51 pm.
Since both Mr. Tan and Mr. Wong arrived at town H at the same time, we can conclude that Mr. Wong also started his journey at 1.51 pm.
