You can put this solution on YOUR website! the travel time between two cities is inversely proportional to the average speed.
A train travels between the cities in 3 hours at an average speed of 65 mph
how long would it take to travel between the cities at an average speed of 80 mph?
:
let t = time at 80 mph
An inverse proportion equation =
80t = 65 * 3
t = 195/80
t = 2.4375 hrs
