Step-by-step instructions for Exercise 4 on pages 139-140 of Math 5 textbook.
A kayak travels from 6:30 to 7:45 and covers a distance of 30km. Calculate the speed of the kayak.
Formulas to apply to solve the exercise:
- Time calculation formula: t = s : v (Time equals distance divided by speed)
- Speed calculation formula: v = s : t (Speed equals distance divided by time).
Method 1:
The travel time of the kayak is:
7 hours 45 minutes - 6 hours 30 minutes = 1 hour 15 minutes
1 hour 15 minutes = 1.25 hours
The speed of the kayak is:
30 : 1.25 = 24 (km/hour)
Answer: 24 km/hour.
Method 2:
The travel time of the kayak is:
7 hours 45 minutes - 6 hours 30 minutes = 1 hour 15 minutes
1 hour 15 minutes = 75 minutes
The speed of the kayak is:
30 : 75 = 0.4 (km/minute)
0.4 km/minute = 24 km/hour
Answer: 24 km/hour.
