Let the distance travelled by the truck in 5 hours be x km.
We know, 1 hour = 60 minutes
∴ 5 hours = (5 × 60) minutes = 300 minutes
The given information in the form of a table is as follows.
| Distance travelled (in km) |
14 |
x |
| Time (in min) |
25 |
300 |
The distance travelled by the truck and the time taken by the truck are directly proportional to each other. Therefore,
14/25 = xx/300
x = (14 x 300)/25 = 168
Hence, the distance travelled by the truck is 168 km.
