Question

The odometer of a car reads $57321.0$ km when the clock shows the time $08 : 30$ AM. What is the distance moved by the car, if at $08 : 50$ AM, the odometer reading has changed to $57336.0$ km $?$ Calculate the speed of the car in km $/$ min during this time. Express the speed in km $/$ h also.

Verified by Toppr

Distance $= 57336.0 k m - 57321 k m = 15 k m$
Speed in km $/$ min $= 15 k m / 20 m i n = \frac{3}{4} k m / m i n$
Speed in $k m / h r = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{k m}{m i n} \times \frac{6 0 m i n}{h r} = (15 \times 3) k m / h r = 45 k m / h r$ .
