            Example : An auto covers 32 kilometres in 8 hours. What distance does

                            it cover in an hour ?



                                        Total distance = 32 kilometres


                                        Total time = 8 hours.


            Distance covered by autorickshaw in 1 hour.



                                                             32 ÷ 8



                                                    8         3  2            4

                                                          – 3  2

                                                              × ×


            Hence, 32  ÷  8  =  4


            So, the autorickshaw travels 8 kilometres in 1 hour.
