Question
Sachin can cover a distance in 1hr 24 min by covering of the distance at 4 kmph and the rest at 5 kmph. What is the total distance?
Solution
Let's solve this step by step:
-
First, let's convert the time of 1 hour 24 minutes into hours. 24 minutes is 0.4 hours, so the total time is 1.4 hours.
-
Let's denote the total distance as D. According to the problem, Sachin covers 2/3 of the distance at 4 kmph and the rest at 5 kmph.
-
We can set up the equation based on the time it takes for each part of the trip. The time it takes to cover 2/3 of the distance at 4 kmph is (2/3)D/4 and the time it takes to cover the rest of the distance at 5 kmph is (1/3)D/5.
-
The sum of these two times is equal to the total time of 1.4 hours. So we have the equation: (2/3)D/4 + (1/3)D/5 = 1.4.
-
Solving this equation for D, we get D = 6 km.
So, the total distance Sachin can cover is 6 km.
