Explanation:
Best 5 steps methods.

1.Data:
Distance= d1= 240m
Time =t= 24 Sec
Distance =d2=650

2.Required:
Time =T=??

3. Formula: D=S×T
d1+d2= S× T
Now for T=??
T= d1+d2/S

4.Solution: first for speed
S=d1/t=240m/24Sec = 10 m/Sec
Now for time
T =d1+d2/S
Putting values in T formula.
T= (240 m+ 650 m) /10 m/Sec
T= 890 m/10 m/Sec
T = 89 Sec
5.Result:
T= 89 Seconds

Correct Answer: 89 Sec ✔
