Step 1: Calculate the speed of the car
The car covers 360 km in 3 hours.
Speed=Distance/Time=360 km/3 hours=120 km/h
Step 2: Convert 40 minutes into hours
Since speed is in km/h, we need to convert 40 minutes into hours.
40 minutes=40/60 hours=2/3 hours
Step 3: Calculate the distance covered in 40 minutes
Now, we can calculate the distance covered in 2/3 hours at a speed of 120 km/h.
Distance=Speed×Time=120 km/h×2/3 hours=80 km
So, the car will cover 80 km in 40 minutes.
