A Suzuki Khyber car journey takes 4/1/2 (4 whole 1 over 2) hrs when the car travels at an average speed of 120 km/h. Calculate the time taken for the same journey when the average speed is reduced to 108 km/h.
...
Time = 4 1/2 hours = 9/2 hours
speed = 120 km/h
...
Distance = 120*9/2
Distance = 60*9
Distance = 540 km.
...
Distance = 540 km
speed = 108 km/h
time = 540/108
Time = 5 hours
