Question

If the Shimlar Express train from A reaches B (210 km away) in 2 hours 20 minutes, how much longer will it take to reach C , another 360 km farther.

Answer 1

To find out how much longer it will take for the train to reach C, we need to calculate the average speed of the train.

The train covers a distance of 210 km in a time of 2 hours 20 minutes.

To convert minutes to hours, we divide 20 minutes by 60: 20/60 = 1/3 hours.

So the total time taken by the train to reach B is 2 + 1/3 = 7/3 hours.

Therefore, the average speed of the train is 210 km / (7/3 hours) = 90 km/h.

To find out how long it will take the train to reach C, which is 360 km further, we can use the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed.

Time = 360 km / 90 km/h = 4 hours.

So, it will take the train an additional 4 hours to reach C.
