In order to calculate the time it took, multiply 6.76 by 26/60. This is due to the formula d=rt. Then add that result to 5∗5.55/10. Then, subtract that result from 11.54.

= 11.54−3.85433333333

=9.53566666667

Now, divide it by the regular speed of 9 km/hr.

= 1.05951851852 hours.

Multiply the decimal part by 60.

=1 hour 3.571 minutes.

Multiply the decimal part again by 60.

=1 hour 3 minutes 34 seconds.
