Question
A horse covers a distance of 1500 meters in 1 minute 20 seconds. At what speed the horse is running?
A) 67.5 kmph
B) 40 kmph
C) 45 kmph
D) 65 kmph
Solution
To solve this problem, we first need to convert the time and distance into the same units.
-
Convert the time to hours: 1 minute 20 seconds is equal to 1.33 minutes (since 20 seconds is 1/3 of a minute). To convert minutes to hours, we divide by 60. So, 1.33 minutes is approximately 0.0222 hours.
-
Convert the distance to kilometers: 1500 meters is equal to 1.5 kilometers (since 1 kilometer is 1000 meters).
-
Now, we can calculate the speed by dividing the distance by the time: Speed = Distance / Time Speed = 1.5 km / 0.0222 hours = 67.57 km/h
So, the horse is running at a speed of approximately 67.57 km/h. The closest answer to this is A) 67.5 km/h.
