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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2hr much longer

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  = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]  

 Now;

           Time taken  = [tex]\frac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]  

Time 1;

                        = [tex]\frac{600}{50}[/tex]

                       = 12hr

Time 2;

                       = [tex]\frac{600}{60}[/tex]

                       = 10hr

To find how much more time;

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