Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains the following question:
"A motor car covers a certain distance in 50 minutes, when running with uniform speed of 54 km/hr. How much time will it take to cover the same distance when its speed is decreased to 30 km/hr?"
Solution:
We are given:
- Speed
- Time
From this, we can calculate the distance covered using the formula:
Now, the car's speed is decreased to . We need to find the time it will take to cover the same distance at the reduced speed.
Using the formula:
So, the time it will take to cover the same distance at 30 km/h is 1.5 hours or 90 minutes.
Would you like more details on any part of the solution?
Here are some related questions:
- What is the relation between speed, time, and distance?
- How do you convert minutes to hours?
- If the speed was reduced to 20 km/h, how much time would it take?
- What if the speed was increased to 60 km/h instead of decreased?
- How would the answer change if the distance were unknown but the times were given?
Tip: Always remember that time is inversely proportional to speed if the distance is constant.
