Question 1205397
.
A train 180m long travels through a station at 60km/h.
Find how many seconds it takes for the train to pass a person who is standing on the station platform.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
It is the same as to ask how many seconds it takes for the train to move 180 meters forward.


The speed of 60 km/h is the same as 1 km/minute, so it will take 0.180 of a minute for the train
to move 180 meters = 0.18 kilometers forward.


To find the time in seconds, multiply 0.180 of a minute by 60 seconds.


Doing this way, you will get the <U>ANSWER</U>: the necessary time is 0.18*60 = 10.8 seconds.

Solved.
