------------------------------------
motorist left town A at 08 30 and reached town B at 13 00. The distance travelled was 243km.
-----------------------------------

243 miles in 4.5 hours;
54 miles per hour.


----------------------------
If he took a shortcut to save 13km but drove at a slower speed by 4km/h, at what time would he arrive at town B?
---------------------------

Instead of miles, time, and speed as done, now the "IF" is for 230 miles, at 50 miles per hour. Use this and answer the question.
