You can put this solution on YOUR website! A man cycled a distance of 60 km in five hours.If at this rate he was to travel for three more hours,find the total distance he would have travelled.How long woould he have taken to cover this distance at a rate of 20km/hr?
--------------------
60km in 5 hours is a rate of 60/5 = 12 km/hr.
-------
In 3 more hours he would travel 3*12 = 36 km
--------
Total distance traveled: 60+36 = 96 km
time to travel 96 km at 20 km/hr = 96/20 = 4.8 hrs
