Ravi walks at the uniform rate of 5 km/hr. What distance would he cover in 2 hours 24 minutes?

Answer

To find the distance Ravi would cover in 2 hours and 24 minutes while walking at a uniform rate of 5 km/hr, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert the time into hours
Ravi walks for 2 hours and 24 minutes. We need to convert the 24 minutes into hours.

- There are 60 minutes in an hour, so:
\[ \text{Time in hours} = 2 + \frac{24}{60} \]
\[ = 2 + \frac{2}{5} \quad (\text{since } \frac{24}{60} = \frac{2}{5}) \]
\[ = \frac{10}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{12}{5} \text{ hours} \]

### Step 2: Use the formula for distance
The formula for distance is given by:
\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \]
Given that the speed is 5 km/hr, we can substitute the values into the formula.

### Step 3: Calculate the distance
Substituting the speed and the time into the distance formula:
\[ \text{Distance} = 5 \text{ km/hr} \times \frac{12}{5} \text{ hours} \]
\[ = 5 \times \frac{12}{5} = 12 \text{ km} \]

### Conclusion
Ravi would cover a distance of **12 km** in 2 hours and 24 minutes.
