Answer:

2hr much longer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters

Distance = 600km

Speed 1 = 50km/h

Speed 2 = 60km/h

Unknown:

How much longer will it take to travel a distance = ?

Solution:

Speed is the distance divided by time;

Speed =
(distance)/(time)

Now;

Time taken =
(Distance)/(Speed)

Time 1;

=
(600)/(50)

= 12hr

Time 2;

=
(600)/(60)

= 10hr

To find how much more time;

Time 1 will take 12hr - 10hr, 2hr much longer to travel the distance at that rate.
