A motorcycle is moving at a constant speed of 45km/h how long does it take the motorcycle to travel a distance of 20km?

Respuesta :

Answer:

It takes 1600 seconds or [tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex] hours to travel a distance of 20 km.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of the motorcycle, [tex]v=45\textrm{ km/h}[/tex]

Distance traveled by the motorcycle, [tex]D=20\textrm{ km}[/tex]

We know that,

[tex]Distance = \frac{Speed}{Time}[/tex]

∴ [tex]Time =\frac{Distance}{Speed}=\frac{D}{v}[/tex]

Plug in 20 km for [tex]D[/tex] and 45 km/h for [tex]v[/tex]. Solve for time.

⇒ Time = [tex]\frac{20}{45}=\frac{4}{9}\textrm{ h}=\frac{4}{9}\times 3600=1600\textrm{ s}[/tex]

Therefore, the time taken to travel a distance of 20 km is 1600 seconds or [tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex] hours.
