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

Let distance covered in 5 hours be x km.
∴ 1 hour = 60 minutes ∴ 5 hours = 5 x 60 = 300 minutes

Distance (in km) 14 x
Time (in minutes) 25 300

Here distance covered and time in direct proportion.
∴ 14/25 = x/300 ⇒ xX25=14×300 ⇒ x= 14×300/25 = 168 km

Hence, the distance covered in 5 hours is 168 km.
