Question:

A loaded truck travels 14 km in 25 minutes. If the speed remains the same, how far can it travel in 5 hours?

Solution:

Given,
x1 = 14 km
y1 = 25 min
y2 = 5 hours = 300 min
Assuming constant speed, we can use the formula: distance = speed × time. Since speed is constant, we can set up a proportion:
(distance1 / time1) = (distance2 / time2)
(14 km / 25 min) = (x2 / 300 min)
Solving for x2:
x2 = (14 km / 25 min) * 300 min
x2 = 168 km
Therefore, the truck can travel 168 km in 5 hours.
