Answer:
In 3 hrs a car covers 150km
In 1 hrs a car covers 150/3 km = 50 km
In 5hrs a car covers (50 × 5) km
=> 50 × 5
=> 250 km.
————————————
Proportion method :
————————————
150:3 :: x : 5
150/3 = x/5
=> 3x = 150 × 5
=> x = 150 × 5 / 3
=> x = 50 × 5
=> x = 250 km
Therefore, the car covers 250 km.
Thanks for the question!☺
