Question 692779: The time you take to drive to the lake varies inversely with the speed you are driving. Suppose you take 2.5 hours to drive from your house to the lake at 48 mi/h. How long will it take to drive home if you are driving at a speed of 40 mi/h? Answer by rimjhim.tomar(21) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1st- distance of the lake from the house=time*speed=48*2.5=120 miles
now, time taken in covering the distance of 120 miles with a speed of 40mi/hr= distance/speed= 120/40= 3 hrs
