A car takes 5 hours to cover a distance of 300km. How much should the speed in km/hr be maintained to cover rhe distance in 4/5th of the previous time?
===============
4/5 of the time is 4 hours.
----
--> find the speed to go 300 km in 4 hours.
To find km/hr, divide the kms by the hours.
Is that not obvious?
