You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Anna speed = 60 mph
so she will take 400/60
=6 hours 40 minutes without a halt
She halts for 1hour 20 hours
So she takes 8 hours
...
John speed = 50 mph.
So he takes 400/50 = 8 hours without halt.
he halts for 40 minutes
so he takes 8 hours 40 minutes to reach
difference 40 minutes
