If Alex increases his speed by 2 miles per hour from 10 miles per hour he will be 0.01 hrs or 6 minutes faster that is will take 6 minutes less to reach school.
<u>Solution: </u>
Given that
Alex cycles at a speed of 10 miles per hour; Alex cycles 6 miles from home to school.
Need to calculate how much faster will Alex reach to school if he increase its speed by 2 miles per hour . Formula for time is as follows ,
Lets calculate time taken by Alex to reach school at normal speed that is 10 miles per our
As distance covered from home to school is 6 miles
Distance covered = 6 miles
Normal Speed = 10 miles per hour
Substituting the given values in formula of time we get
Time taken at normal speed
Now calculate time taken by Alex to reach school when speed is increased by two
Distance covered = 6 miles
Increase Speed =
Substituting the given values in formula of time we get
Time taken at Increased speed
Difference in time taken =
As 1 hour = 60 minutes
