Question 127162: The time it takes to travel to a location varies inversely to the speed traveled. It takes 4 hours driving at an average speed of 55 miles per hour to reach a location. To the nearest tenth of an hour, how long will it take to reach the same location driving at an average speed of 50 miles per hour? Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! DISTANCE=RATE*TIME
D=55*4
D=50T
SEEING AS THESE DISTANCES ARE THE SAME. WE HAVE;
55*4=50T
220=50T
T=220/50
T=4.4
