Question 585398
The time t required to drive a fixed distance varies inversely as the speed r.
-----
t = k/r
------
Solve for "k" using "It takes 5 hrs at a speed of 80 km/h to drive a fixed distance".
5 = k/80
k = 400
-----
Equation:
t = 400/r
-------------------
How long will it take to drive the same distance at a speed of 70 km/h?
----------------------------------------------
t(70) = 400/70 = 5.71 hours
