Excluding stoppages, a transit truck travels at 75 km/h and including stoppages it travels at 62.5 km/h. How many minutes does the truck stop per hour?
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Stoppage time per hour = (75 - 62.5) / 75 = 12.5 / 75 = 1/6 hour. In minutes = (1/6) * 60 = 10 minutes.
Stoppage time per hour = (75 - 62.5) / 75 = 12.5 / 75 = 1/6 hour. In minutes = (1/6) * 60 = 10 minutes.
