train covers 20 km in one hour then how much distance will it cover in 1 min?

Sagot :

[tex]\sf\large\underline{Given:-}[/tex]

Speed of the train = 20km / 1hr.

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] 1 hour = 60 minutes.

So, speed of the train = 20km/60min.

[tex]\sf\large\underline{To\: Find:-}[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex]Distance covered by train in 1min.

[tex]\sf\large\underline{Solution:-}[/tex]

Let the distance covered by train in 1 min be [tex]\sf{x}[/tex] m.

So, if train covers 20 km in 60min then it covers [tex]\sf{x}[/tex] m in 1 min.

It can be written as,

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] [tex]\sf{\frac{20}{60}}[/tex] [tex]\sf{=\frac{x}{1}}[/tex](by cross multiplication)

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex][tex]\sf{20\: = \: 60x}[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] [tex]\sf{\frac{20}{60}= x}[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] [tex]\sf{\frac{1}{3}= x}[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] [tex]\sf{0.33= x}[/tex](approx)

Therefore, distance covered by train in 1 min= 0.33km (approx).
