Question

How much longer will it take

to travel a distance of 6ookm at
a speed of 50kmh than it
would at a
speed of 6okmh?
​

Answer 1

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.
