1.
A person crosses a 600 m long street in 5 minutes. What is his speed in km per hour?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Speed = |  |
600 |  m/sec. |
| 5 x 60 |
= 2 m/sec.
Converting m/sec to km/hr (see important formulas section)
| = | |
2 x | 18 | |
km/hr |
| 5 |
= 7.2 km/hr.

All values is used in above example.
S = d/t, ( 600/5 * 60) m/sec.
Then convert m/ sec into km/hr.
Suppoes,
km/hr = s.
1000/3600 = 2.
5/18 = 2.
= 2 * 18/5.
= 7.2 km/hr.
S = d/t, ( 600/5 * 60) m/sec.
Then convert m/ sec into km/hr.
Suppoes,
km/hr = s.
1000/3600 = 2.
5/18 = 2.
= 2 * 18/5.
= 7.2 km/hr.

Distance = 600 m.
Time = 5 min = (5 * 60)s = 300 s.
Speed = ?
Speed = Distance/Time = 600m/300s = 2 m/s.
According to question we need to convert it m/s to km/hr.
m/sec=18/5 km/hr.
So, Speed = (2 * 18/5) km/hr.
Speed = 7.2 km/hr.
Time = 5 min = (5 * 60)s = 300 s.
Speed = ?
Speed = Distance/Time = 600m/300s = 2 m/s.
According to question we need to convert it m/s to km/hr.
m/sec=18/5 km/hr.
So, Speed = (2 * 18/5) km/hr.
Speed = 7.2 km/hr.

Formula: speed = distance/time.
In question, given distance is in meter so convert the km and time given the minute so convert hours.

Here, the formula is either:
Sspeed= distance divided by time.
Time = distance divided by speed.
or
Distance = speed x time.
Sspeed= distance divided by time.
Time = distance divided by speed.
or
Distance = speed x time.

The formula of converting into m/s an km/hr is;
m/s: XYZ multiplied by 18 by 5.
And
km/hr: XYZ multiplied by 5 by 18.
m/s: XYZ multiplied by 18 by 5.
And
km/hr: XYZ multiplied by 5 by 18.
