Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A train travels at a speed of 72 km/h. How far will it travel in 30 minutes?
  • Step 1: Understand the speed of the train, which is 72 kilometers per hour (km/h).
  • Step 2: Convert the time from minutes to hours. Since 30 minutes is half an hour, we write it as 0.5 hours.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for distance, which is Distance = speed × time.
  • Step 4: Plug in the values: Distance = 72 km/h × 0.5 h.
  • Step 5: Calculate the distance: 72 × 0.5 = 36 kilometers.
  • Speed and Distance – Understanding the relationship between speed, time, and distance, where distance is calculated as the product of speed and time.
