Solution
Amit walks 8 km in 1 hour 20 min
or `1 1/3=4/3` hours
∴ Speed = `"Distance"/"Time"`
= `8/(4/3)=(8xx3)/4` = 6 km/h
(i) Time taken in 2500 m = `2500/(1000xx6)`
= `5/12` hours = `5/12xx60` = 25 minutes
(ii) Time taken in 6.5 km
= `6.5/6=65/60` hours
= 1 hours 5 minutes

Look at the different types of boats.
Some boats have motors and go further into the sea. since they go far out they can catch more fish. These boats travel faster, at a speed of about 20 km in one hour.
How far would the motorboats go in three and a half hours?
In one trip the logboat brings about 20 kg of fish. But other types of boats bring a bigger catch as given in the table. The table also shows the speed of each type of boat, which is how far each boat goes in one hour. Look at the table and calculate -
- About how far can a motorboat go in six hours?
| Type of boat | Catch of fish in one trip (in kg) |
Speed of the boat (how far it goes in one hour) |
| Log boat | 20 | 4 km per hour |
| Long tail boat | 600 | 12 km per hour |
| Motorboat | 800 | 20 km per hour |
| Machine boat | 6000 | 22 km per hour |
The SI unit of speed is:
If a car travels at a constant speed of 45 km/h for 3 hours, what distance will it cover?
