Explanation:

Given that:

Distance traveled = 3150m

Average speed = 350m/min

Suggested speed = 375m/min

Unknown:

Time = ?

Solution:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.

it is mathematically expressed as;

speed = $\frac{distance }{time}$

Initial time using speed 350m/min can be calculated by making time the subject of the formula;

time taken = $\frac{distance }{speed}$

time taken at speed of speed of 350m/min = $\frac{3150}{350}$ = 9min

to seconds = 9 x 60 = 540 seconds

time taken at speed of 375m/min = $\frac{3150}{375}$ = 8.4min

to seconds = 8.4 x 60 = 504 seconds.

It could have taken 504 seconds sooner saving 36 seconds.
