Un tractor halando un carretón cargado con caña de azucar, viaja por el camino recto de una finca a una velocidad de 20 km/h. Si a las 15:00 horas pasa por la Finca Las Margaritas, a qué hora llegará a la finca Las Ilusiones, situada sobre el mismo camino, si la distancia entre ambas fincas es de 60 km.

Translation

A tractor pulling a cart loaded with sugar cane travels down the straight path of a farm at a speed of 20 km / h. If at 3:00 p. m. you pass the Finca Las Margaritas, what time will you arrive at the Las Ilusiones farm, located on the same road, if the distance between the two farms is 60 km

Answer:

6.00 pm

Explanation:

Speed is given by dividing distance by time and expressed as s=d/t. Making time the subject of the formula then t=d/s where s is the speed, d is distance covered and t is the time taken. Substituting 20 km/h for s and 60 km for d then t=60/20=3 hours

Adding 3 hours to 3 pm we get 6pm

Therefore, the time to reach the destination if the speed is constantly maintained is 6.00 pm
