Answer:
0.35 kilometres/ minute
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed of an object is the rate of distance traveled and time taken.
i.e speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
For the given train:
distance covered = 8[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] kilometres
= [tex]\frac{35}{4}[/tex] kilometres
time taken = 25 minutes
speed = [tex]\frac{35}{4}[/tex] ÷ 25
= [tex]\frac{35}{4}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{1}{25}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{35}{100}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{7}{20}[/tex]
speed = 0.35 kilometres/ minute
The train speed is 0.35 kilometres/ minute.
