Answer:
C. about 1.78 hours
Explanation:
Answer:
1.78 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
If t varies inversely with the speed, the formula for that is t= \frac{k}{r} . If t = 2 and r = 40, then we can solve for k, the constant of variation. Multiply both sides by 40 to get k = 80. Now we need to find the value for t when r = 45. Using the k value we just solved for, we will fill in the equation as t= \frac{80}{45} for a t value of about 1.78 hours

Answer: about 1.78 hours
...............................................................................................................................................
t = k/r
2 = k/67
k = 134 (which happens to be the distance)
t = 134/r
t = 134/55
t = 2.436 hours
...............................................................................................................................................
The formula for this is t = k/r, read "t varies inversely as r". If the info they give us is 4 hours and 35 miles per hour, we find that k = 140. Now use that 140 in another equation to solve for t: t = 140/45, and t = 3.1 hours

t = k/r\
4 hours and 35 miles per hour,
we find that k = 140.
Now use that 140 in another equation to solve for t:
t = 140/45, and
t = 3.1 hours
