The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how much time a train moving at a uniform speed of 120 km per hour will take to cover a distance of 210 km, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between speed, distance, and time. The formula that relates speed (S), distance (D), and time (T) is: \[ S = \frac{D}{T} \] From this formula, we can rearrange it to find time: \[ T = \frac{D}{S} \] ### Step 2: Identify the given values. - Speed of the train (S) = 120 km/h - Distance to be covered (D) = 210 km ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula. Using the formula \( T = \frac{D}{S} \): \[ T = \frac{210 \text{ km}}{120 \text{ km/h}} \] ### Step 4: Perform the division. Calculating the time: \[ T = \frac{210}{120} \] To simplify this, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 30: \[ T = \frac{7}{4} \text{ hours} \] ### Step 5: Convert hours into hours and minutes. The fraction \( \frac{7}{4} \) hours can be converted into hours and minutes: - \( \frac{7}{4} \) hours = 1 hour and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of an hour. - Since \( \frac{3}{4} \) of an hour is 45 minutes (because \( \frac{3}{4} \times 60 \text{ minutes} = 45 \text{ minutes} \)). ### Final Answer: Thus, the train will take **1 hour and 45 minutes** to cover 210 km. ---
