Step-by-step guide to solving Exercise 3 on pages 139 and 140 Math 5
Problem:
Distance AB is 25km. On the way from A to B, a person walks 5km and then continues by car for half an hour to reach B. Calculate the speed of the car.
Solution method:
- Step 1: Calculate the car's distance traveled by subtracting pedestrian's distance from AB distance.
- Step 2: Calculate car's speed by dividing the distance the car has traveled by the time.
Answer:
We have: Half an hour = 1/2 hour = 0.5 hours.
The car's distance traveled is:
25 - 5 = 20 (km)
The car's speed is:
20 : 0.5 = 40 (km/hour)
(or 20 : 1/2 = 40 (km/hour)
Answer: 40km/hour.
