Problema Solution

the distance d traveled by a train varies directly as the time t that it travels. the train travels 60 km in 1/2 hour. how far will it travel in 2 hours.

Answer provided by our tutors

d is directly proportional to t

i.e. d1/d2 = t1/t2

d1=60km

t1=0.5 hr

t2=2 hrs

d2=60*2/0.5 = 120/0.5 = 240 kms [Ans.]
