Answer:

107 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:


Time=\frac {Distance}{Speed}

Time taken to travel 1.5 Km at a speed of 85 km/h=
\frac {1.5}{85}=0.017647059 hours

Time taken to travel 0.8 Km at a speed of 67 km/h =
\frac {0.8}{67}=0.011940299 hours

Total distance= 1.5+0.8=2.3 km

Total time=0.017647059+0.011940299=0.029587357 hours

Converting hours to seconds, we multiply hours by 3600 hence total time=0.029587357*3600=106.5144864 seconds,

Rounding off, time=107 seconds
