  1. 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.
