Question

a car takes 4 hours to cover a distance if it takes at a speed of 40mph. what should be it's speed to cover the same distance in 1.5 hours

Answer 1

Speed = 106.67mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first motion be A.

Given the following data;

Speed A = 40mph

Time A = 4 hours

To find the distance covered in A;

Distance = speed * time

Distance = 40 * 4

Distance = 160 miles.

To find the speed required to cover the above distance in 1.5 hours;

Speed = distance/time

Speed = 160/1.5

Speed = 106.67mph
