A car is moving along a straight road at a steady speed. It travels 150 m in 5 seconds. How long does it take to travel 240 m ?

Distance travelled$=150\ m$

Time $=5\ sec$

Therefore, speed of the car $=\frac{150\ m}{5\ sec.}$

$=30\ m/s$

Therefore, time taken to travel $240\ m$

$=\frac{distance}{speed}$

$=\frac{240}{30}$

$=80\ sec.$
