A car averages 30km per hour. If it left on a trip at 12:15pm and arrived at 6;45pm what distance was covered?

1 answer

The total time taken by the car to travel is 6 hours and 30 minutes (from 12:15 pm to 6:45 pm).

We can convert this time into hours by dividing 30 minutes by 60 to get 0.5 hours, then adding it to 6 hours.

So the total time taken is: 6 + 0.5 = 6.5 hours

Distance traveled = speed x time

Here, the speed of the car is 30km per hour and the time taken is 6.5 hours.

Thus, distance = 30 x 6.5 = 195 km.

Therefore, the distance covered by the car is 195 km.
