A car leaves Leeds for Newcastle 160 kilometres away at 1:00pm. If it averages 50 kmph, what time will it arrive in Newcastle?

1 answer

To determine the time the car will arrive in Newcastle, we can use the formula:

time = distance / speed

In this case, the distance is 160 km and the speed is 50 kmph, so we have:

time = 160 km / 50 kmph

time = 3.2 hours

Therefore, the car will arrive in Newcastle 3.2 hours after leaving Leeds at 1:00pm. To determine the arrival time, we add 3.2 hours to 1:00pm:

1:00pm + 3.2 hours = 4:12pm

Therefore, the car will arrive in Newcastle at 4:12pm.
