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.

1 hour 12 m - 5 = 60 minute = 1 HOUR,
Than 600 m - 12 = 7200 m.
Now convert km/hour,
Than required answer 7200/1000 = 7.2 km/hour.
Than 600 m - 12 = 7200 m.
Now convert km/hour,
Than required answer 7200/1000 = 7.2 km/hour.

In 5 mins 600 meter.
In 1 mins 600/5 = 120 meter.
In 60 mins (1hr) 120*60 meter = 7200 meter.
In 1 hr 7.2 km.
i.e 7.2 km/hr.
In 1 mins 600/5 = 120 meter.
In 60 mins (1hr) 120*60 meter = 7200 meter.
In 1 hr 7.2 km.
i.e 7.2 km/hr.

t=5 Mins, 5*60=300sec(1min=60 sec)
SPEED=DISTANCE/TIME
=600/300
=2m/s.
Convert m/s to km/sec by formula
2*18/5
=36/5
=7.2km/hr.
SPEED=DISTANCE/TIME
=600/300
=2m/s.
Convert m/s to km/sec by formula
2*18/5
=36/5
=7.2km/hr.

600 meters in 300 seconds;
100 meters in 50 seconds;
1000 meters in 500 seconds (8,33 minutes):
60 divided by 8,33 = 7,4 kmh.
100 meters in 50 seconds;
1000 meters in 500 seconds (8,33 minutes):
60 divided by 8,33 = 7,4 kmh.

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.

Convert distance to kilo meters.
So, 600/1000 = 6/10.
And, convert minutes to hours.
So, 5/60.
6/10/5/60 = 36/5 answer is 7.2
So, 600/1000 = 6/10.
And, convert minutes to hours.
So, 5/60.
6/10/5/60 = 36/5 answer is 7.2

Distance = 600 m = 0.6 km.
Time = 5 minutes = 5/60 = 1/12 hour.
Speed = Distance/Time.
= 0.6 ÷ (1/12),
= 0.6 × 12,
= 7.2 km/h.
Time = 5 minutes = 5/60 = 1/12 hour.
Speed = Distance/Time.
= 0.6 ÷ (1/12),
= 0.6 × 12,
= 7.2 km/h.

Speed = Distance ÷ time.
Speed = 600÷(5×60).
Speed = 2 m/sec,
Now, convert into kmph.
i.e.,S = 2×(18÷5).
Then S = 7.2 kmph.
Speed = 600÷(5×60).
Speed = 2 m/sec,
Now, convert into kmph.
i.e.,S = 2×(18÷5).
Then S = 7.2 kmph.

600m = 5 minutes, 120m = 1 minutes (600/5),
1 hour = 60 minutes,
7200m = 60 minutes (120*60),
1000m = 1 km.
7200m = 7.2 km.
1 hour = 60 minutes,
7200m = 60 minutes (120*60),
1000m = 1 km.
7200m = 7.2 km.

Speed = Distance/Time.
Distance = 600 m = 600/1000 = 0.6 km
Time = 5 min = 5/60 = 0.083 min.
Speed = 0.6/0.083 = 7.2 km/hr.
Distance = 600 m = 600/1000 = 0.6 km
Time = 5 min = 5/60 = 0.083 min.
Speed = 0.6/0.083 = 7.2 km/hr.
