Question 13 A train runs 68m, 127m, 208m, 312m, and 535m in five successive minutes after it
starts. For the next five minutes, it runs an average speed of 33 km/h. Find the
total distance covered in ten minutes,
A. 12 km
B. 10 km
C. 4 km
D. none

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question , we are interested in calculating the total distance covered by the train in the 10 minutes that it ran.

From the first part of the question, we already know the distances in the first 5 minutes.

Now, to calculate the total distance in the second 5 minutes, we use the distance formula since we have the average speed and the time;

Mathematically; Total distance = average speed * time

From the question, average speed is 33km/h, while time is 5 minutes. To achieve a consistent unit, we convert 5 minutes to hours.

That would be 5/60 = 1/12 hours

So the total distance in the second 5 minutes is;

33 * 1/12 = 2.75 km

Now, to calculate the total distance traveled, let’s add up the distances in the first 5 minutes and convert to kilometers;

That would be;

68 + 127 + 208 + 312 + 535 = 1,250 m

Let’s convert this to km.

We simply divide by 1000 = 1250/1000 = 1.25 km

The total distance is thus ;

1.25 + 2.75 = 4 km

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
