Question

The time it takes to drive to Myrtle Beach varies inversely with the speed you drive. If it takes you 4 hours to reach Myrtle Beach when driving at a speed of 60 mph, how much time would it take if you drove at a speed of 80 mph?

Answer 1

If you drove at 80mph it would take you approximately 3 hours

This is because 60 is 75% of 80 and 3 hours is 75% of 4 hours.

25% of 4 hours is 1 hour

4 hours - 1 hour = 3 hours
