A car travels at a speed that is 3/4th the speed of a bike. The bike covers 240 km in 4 hours. How much distance will the car cover in 30 minutes?

Question: A car travels at a speed that is 3/4th the speed of a bike. The bike covers 240 km in 4 hours. How much distance will the car cover in 30 minutes?

Solution:
Speed of the bike = distance/time
= 240/4 = 60 km/h

And speed of the car = 3/4 of the speed of the bike
= (3/4) × 60 = 45 km/h

∴ Time for the car = 30 minutes
= 30/60 = 1/2 hours

∴ Distance covered by the car = speed × time
= 45 × (1/2) = 22.5 km

So the car will cover 22.5 km in 30 minutes.
