A man traveled from town x from 6pm to 5: 30pm. If the travelled for 100 per hour . Calculate distance

Answer :

Answer:

100 miles

Explanation;

The man spent a total of 30 minutes travelling ( because he travelled from 5:30 t0 6:00 PM ). Now since we know that the man travelled at a speed of 100 miles per hour and that 30 minutes is half of an hour (30 min = 1/2 hr) then we conclude that the distance he travelled is

100 miles / 2 = 50 miles.

Or more formally we can do

[tex]\frac{100m}{hr}\cdot\frac{1}{2}hr=50m[/tex]

Hence, the distance travelled by the man is 50 miles.
