Question

A car takes 2 hours to reach a destination by travelling at the speed of 60 km per hour how long will it take when the car travel at the speed of 80 kilometre per hour​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

Let the car takes x hours to reach a destination by travelling at the speed of 80 km/h. Then,

Speed (in km/hr) 60 80

Time (in hours) 2 x

Clearly, more the speed, less will be the time taken. So, it is a case of inverse proportion.

∴60×2=80×x⇒x=

80

60×2

=

Hence, the time taken will be 1

1

hours.

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance = speed × time

= 60 × 2

= 120 km

If speed = 80 km

120 = 80 × time

Time= 120/80

= 1.5 hrs
