A bus traveling at a constant speed took 1 minute 48 seconds to travel the distance between a certain exit and the beginning of a roadwork area. If the distance between the exit and the beginning of the road work area was 2,400 meters, then the car was traveling at what speed, in kilometers per hour?

Respuesta :

Answer:

v= 80 km/hr

Explanation:

Given that

Time t= 1 minute 48 seconds

We know that

1 min = 60 sec

1 sec= 1/60 min

1 hr = 60 min

1 min = 1/60 hr

t= 1/60 + 48/3600 hr

t= 0.03 hr

Given that distance d= 2400 m

d= 2.4 km

We know thart

d= v .t

v= speed

2.4 = v x 0.03

v= 80 km/hr
