5 0

First,we would list out the possibilities to find the probability:

Let G represent girl and B represent boy,here are the possibilities:

1)GGGGGG
2)GBBBBB
3)GGBBBB
4)GGGBBB
5)GGGGBB
6)GGGGGB

Answer:

1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The time it takes to travel to a destination varies inversely as its speed

T= k/S

K= TS

Time= 2 hours

Speed= 40mph

K= 2×40

= 80

Therefore if the average speed changes to 80mph then the new travel time can be calculated as follows

T= 80/80

= 1 hour

Hence the new travel time is 1 hour
