Here We are given that the speed of the truck is 40 km/hr and the time taken is 9 hours to cover a certain distance.
First, we will use this information to find the distance.
Speed = Distance / time
40 = distance / 9
distance = 40 × 9
distance = 360 km
Now, it is given that he wants to complete the journey in 8 hours, then what should be the speed
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 360 / 8
= 45 km/hr
Hence, in order to complete the journey in 8 hours, the speed must be 45 km/hr.
