Answer:
speed of train A= distance/time
= 120/3
= 40km/hr
speed of train B = distance/time
=180/5
= 36km/hr
Ans. Train A will travel faster
Answer:
Speed of train A is 40km/hr and speed of train B is 36 km/hr. Since speed of train A is more, train A will travel faster.
Explanation:
Speed = Distance/Time
In case of train A,
Distance = 120km
Time taken = 3hr
therefore,
speed = Distance/Time
= 120km/3hr
= 40km/hr
In case of train B,
Distance = 180km
Time taken = 5hr
therefore,
speed = Distance/Time
= 180km/5hr
= 36km/hr
therefore,
speed of train A is 40km/hr and speed of train B is 36 km/hr. Since speed of train A is more, train A will travel faster.
Hope it helps.....Thank you
