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.

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.

Distance = 600m = 0.6 km.
Time=5 mins= 5/60 hours.
Speed = distance/time = (0.6*60)/5 km/hr.
Speed= 7.2 km/hr.
Time=5 mins= 5/60 hours.
Speed = distance/time = (0.6*60)/5 km/hr.
Speed= 7.2 km/hr.

Speed = Distance/Time.
600m Distance.
Time 5 Minute = 300 Seconds.
We need speed km/hr, it means 18/5.
600/300*18/5 = 36/5.
Ans = 7.2.

@Vijaya Lakshmi.
it is how we get 18/5.
1 km = 1000m.
1 km/h = 1000m/h.
= 1000/60 m/min.
= 1000/(60*60) m/s.
= 1000/3600m/s.
= 5/18 m/s.
Similarly,
1 m/s = 18/5 km/h.
it is how we get 18/5.
1 km = 1000m.
1 km/h = 1000m/h.
= 1000/60 m/min.
= 1000/(60*60) m/s.
= 1000/3600m/s.
= 5/18 m/s.
Similarly,
1 m/s = 18/5 km/h.

Distance = 600 m = 0.6 km (since 1 km = 1000 m).
Time = 5 minutes = 5/60 hours (since 1 hour = 60 minutes).
Now we can use the formula:
Speed = Distance/Time.
Speed = 0.6 km / (5/60) hours
Speed = 0.6 km / 0.08333 hours.
Speed = 7.2 km/h
Therefore, the person's speed is 7.2 km/h (kilometres per hour).
Time = 5 minutes = 5/60 hours (since 1 hour = 60 minutes).
Now we can use the formula:
Speed = Distance/Time.
Speed = 0.6 km / (5/60) hours
Speed = 0.6 km / 0.08333 hours.
Speed = 7.2 km/h
Therefore, the person's speed is 7.2 km/h (kilometres per hour).

18/5 is a formula that's used to convert m\s to k/hour.
