after 30 minutes you pass a freeway exit that you know is 50 kilometers from your home .
assuming that you continue at the same constant speed, how long will it take for the entire trip?'
:
You can do this in your head, since you covered 50 km in half an hour, you are going 100 km/hr. To cover 500 km at 100 km/hr would obviously take 5 hrs
