Question

Lito drove from Manila to Lucban, Quezon to join a festival. After traveling for 2 hours at an average speed of 80 kph, he took a rest and continued with the last 200 km stretch at 60kph. The whole trip including resting time was 6 hours. How long did he spend resting? ( show solution please )

Answer 1

The man took 0.7 Hours for resting

Explanation:

Total time taken = 6 hours

We can remove the first 2 hours as it isn't necessary in this question

so Total time taken = 4 hours

Speed traveled = 60kph

distance traveled = 200km

Time taken to travel = Distance/ speed

= 200 / 60

= 3.3 Hours

Time taken for resting = Total time - Time taken for travel

= 4 hours - 3.3 hours

= 0.7 Hours

The man took 0.7 Hours for resting
