A loaded truck travels 14 km in 25 minutes. If the speed remains the same, how far can it travel in 5 hours?
Let the distance covered by truck in 5 hours be x km
The given information in the form of table is as follows:
Distance in km | 14 | x |
Time in minutes | 25 | 5 ×60 = 300 |
The above information is in direct proportion.
Therefore,
14/25 = x/300
→x = 168 km
