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.

How did 18 get ( 2*18/5)?

D = S*T.
D = 600m,
T = 5 mints => 5 * 60 = 300 sec.
S = D/T = 600/300 = 2 m/sec.
convert m/sec to km/hr,
2*18/5 = 7.5.
D = 600m,
T = 5 mints => 5 * 60 = 300 sec.
S = D/T = 600/300 = 2 m/sec.
convert m/sec to km/hr,
2*18/5 = 7.5.

We have to convert meters per minute to kilometers per hour.
1 km = 1000 m
Therefore,
Speed = Distance/Time.
Speed = (600 m/5 min) * (60 min/1 hr) * (1 km/1000 m),
Speed = 12 km/hr.
Therefore, the person's speed is 12 km/hr.
1 km = 1000 m
Therefore,
Speed = Distance/Time.
Speed = (600 m/5 min) * (60 min/1 hr) * (1 km/1000 m),
Speed = 12 km/hr.
Therefore, the person's speed is 12 km/hr.

600/5=120m
60*120=7200
7.2km.
Correct me, If I am wrong.
60*120=7200
7.2km.
Correct me, If I am wrong.

Distance= 600m
= 0.6km
Time = 5mins.
=5/60hrs.
Speed = D/T.
= 0.6/0.08333.
= 7.2km/hr.
So, Speed = 7.2km/hr.
= 0.6km
Time = 5mins.
=5/60hrs.
Speed = D/T.
= 0.6/0.08333.
= 7.2km/hr.
So, Speed = 7.2km/hr.

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.

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).

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.

The easiest way for solving this question is;
Divide distance by time: 600/5 = 120.
Then multiply 120 x 60 = 7200.
Then divide 7200 with 1000 meter = 7.2.
Divide distance by time: 600/5 = 120.
Then multiply 120 x 60 = 7200.
Then divide 7200 with 1000 meter = 7.2.

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.
