Question

If a man walks to his office at ¾ of his usual rate, he reaches office 1/3 of an hour late than usual. what is his usual time to reach office

Answer 1

Time = (1/3)*60*3 = 60 minutes or 1 hour...

Answer 2

Answer:

1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken for normal walking rate = x hrs.

Time taken for 3/4th of normal walking rate = 4/3 × x hrs.

Given, 4/3 * x = x + 1/3

=> 4/3 * x - x = 1/3

=> (4/3 - 1) * x = 1/3

=> 1/3 * x = 1/3

Therefore, x = 1 hour.
