@All.
speed(60)*1000(KM convert to meters)/3600(Hoursconvrt to sec)
->60*1000/3600 = 60 * 5/18 = 50/3.
speed(60)*1000(KM convert to meters)/3600(Hoursconvrt to sec)
->60*1000/3600 = 60 * 5/18 = 50/3.

@Anuradha.
= 50/3*9.
= 16.6666667*9,
= 150M answer.
= 50/3*9.
= 16.6666667*9,
= 150M answer.

Calculation: 60× (5 / 18)
Simplify:
(60×5)/18
Cancel common factors:
60 and 18 have a common factor of 6:
(10×6)×5/(3×6)
Cancel 6:
(10×5)/3 = 50/3.
Simplify:
(60×5)/18
Cancel common factors:
60 and 18 have a common factor of 6:
(10×6)×5/(3×6)
Cancel 6:
(10×5)/3 = 50/3.

1000m=1km so 60000m goes in 1hour.
1 hour=3600 sec so 60000/3600 =16.666 so train cross in 1 second is 16.666m...so 9 seconds 16.6666*9=150meter .
1 hour=3600 sec so 60000/3600 =16.666 so train cross in 1 second is 16.666m...so 9 seconds 16.6666*9=150meter .
