A train begins a journey of 200km at 7:45am .if its average speed is 60km/h at what time will it complete its journey

Answer 1

To find out at what time the train will complete its journey, we first need to calculate the time it will take for the journey.

Given:
- Distance = 200 km
- Average speed = 60 km/h

Time (in hours) = Distance / Speed
\[ \text{Time} = \frac{200 \text{ km}}{60 \text{ km/h}} = \frac{200}{60} = \frac{10}{3} \text{ hours} \approx 3.33 \text{ hours} \]

Next, we need to convert 3.33 hours into hours and minutes.

- \(0.33 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 19.8 \text{ minutes}\)

So, the journey takes approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes.

Starting time: 7:45 AM

We add 3 hours and 20 minutes to the start time:

- Adding 3 hours to 7:45 AM = 10:45 AM
- Adding 20 minutes to 10:45 AM = 11:05 AM

Therefore, the train will complete its journey at approximately 11:05 AM.
