Word Problem
A bridge is built across a river. One quarter of the bridge is over the left bank of the river and one third of the bridge is over the right bank. The river is 120 m wide. How long is the bridge?
Use the formula:
ReplyDeleteTime = Distance ÷ Speed
Time = 150 ÷ 60 = 2.5 hours
Convert 2.5 hours to hours and minutes:
0.5 hours = 30 minutes
So, 2.5 hours = 2 hours 30 minutes
Add this time to the departure time (10:15 AM):
10:15 AM + 2 hours 30 minutes = 12:45 PM
