the village to the city?

Answer 1

14.5 hours

Explanation:

Take the return trip situation.

From town to village

• Distance = 30 km
• Speed = 2 km/h
• Time = Distance/Speed = 15 hours

That is equal to the sum of t, the time taken from the village to the city and 30 minutes.

⇒ t + 30 minutes = 15 hours

⇒ t + 0.5 hours = 15 hours

⇒ t = 14.5 hours
