If the Shimlar Express train from A reaches B (210 km away) in 2 hours 20 minutes, how much longer will it take to reach C , another 360 km farther.
To find out how much longer it will take for the train to reach C, we need to calculate the average speed of the train.
The train covers a distance of 210 km in a time of 2 hours 20 minutes.
To convert minutes to hours, we divide 20 minutes by 60: 20/60 = 1/3 hours.
So the total time taken by the train to reach B is 2 + 1/3 = 7/3 hours.
Therefore, the average speed of the train is 210 km / (7/3 hours) = 90 km/h.
To find out how long it will take the train to reach C, which is 360 km further, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed.
Time = 360 km / 90 km/h = 4 hours.
So, it will take the train an additional 4 hours to reach C.
To find out how long it will take for the Shimlar Express train to reach point C, we need to calculate the average speed of the train.
The distance between points A and B is 210 km, and the time taken to cover this distance is 2 hours 20 minutes.
First, convert the 20 minutes to hours by dividing it by 60:
20 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 0.33 hours
Now, add the 2 hours and the converted 20 minutes to find the total time taken:
2 hours + 0.33 hours = 2.33 hours
Next, we divide the distance traveled by the time taken to find the average speed:
Average speed = distance ÷ time
Average speed = 210 km ÷ 2.33 hours = approximately 90.13 km/h
Now that we know the average speed of the train, we can calculate the time it will take to travel the additional 360 km from point B to point C:
Time = distance ÷ speed
Time = 360 km ÷ 90.13 km/h
Dividing these values will give us the time required to reach point C:
Time = 3.99 hours or approximately 4 hours
Therefore, it will take approximately 4 hours longer to reach point C.
To find out how much longer it will take for the Shimlar Express train to reach point C, we need to determine its speed or rate of travel.
First, let's convert the time taken to reach point B from hours and minutes to hours only.
2 hours 20 minutes is equal to 2 + 20/60 = 2.33 hours.
Now, we can find the train's speed by dividing the distance travelled by the time taken.
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 210 km / 2.33 hours
Speed ≈ 90.12 km/h
Now that we know the train's speed, we can calculate the additional time it will take to reach point C, which is 360 km farther.
Additional Time = Distance / Speed
Additional Time = 360 km / 90.12 km/h
Additional Time ≈ 3.99 hours
Therefore, it will take approximately 3.99 hours longer to reach point C, assuming the train maintains the same speed.
