Math Problem Statement
A truck travels 15km in 10.7 minutes. What is the speed of the truck
Solution
To find the speed of the truck, we can use the formula for speed:
Here, the distance is 15 km, and the time is 10.7 minutes. However, to express the speed in a more standard unit like kilometers per hour (km/h), we should convert the time from minutes to hours.
Now, calculate the speed:
So, the speed of the truck is approximately 84.12 km/h.
Would you like more details or have any questions? Here are some related questions:
- What would the truck's speed be if it traveled 20 km in the same time?
- How long would it take the truck to travel 50 km at this speed?
- How would the speed change if the truck took 15 minutes to travel 15 km?
- If the truck maintained this speed, how far would it travel in 30 minutes?
- What is the truck's speed in meters per second (m/s)?
Tip: When converting units, always double-check the conversion factors to ensure accuracy.
