[tex]\sf\large\underline{Given:-}[/tex]
Speed of the train = 20km / 1hr.
[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] 1 hour = 60 minutes.
So, speed of the train = 20km/60min.
[tex]\sf\large\underline{To\: Find:-}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow[/tex]Distance covered by train in 1min.
[tex]\sf\large\underline{Solution:-}[/tex]
Let the distance covered by train in 1 min be [tex]\sf{x}[/tex] m.
So, if train covers 20 km in 60min then it covers [tex]\sf{x}[/tex] m in 1 min.
It can be written as,
[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] [tex]\sf{\frac{20}{60}}[/tex] [tex]\sf{=\frac{x}{1}}[/tex](by cross multiplication)
[tex]\rightarrow[/tex][tex]\sf{20\: = \: 60x}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] [tex]\sf{\frac{20}{60}= x}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] [tex]\sf{\frac{1}{3}= x}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] [tex]\sf{0.33= x}[/tex](approx)
Therefore, distance covered by train in 1 min= 0.33km (approx).
