Answer:

1.67 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original speed of Jonathan = x units/hr

Let the original time taken by Jonathan = y hours

Let the distance = D units

Formula for distance is given as:

Distance = Speed \times Time

Given that half the distance is covered by original speed.

\Rightarrow \dfrac{D}{2} = \dfrac{x}{2}\times \dfrac{y}{2}\\\Rightarrow D = \dfrac{xy}{2} ..... (1)

Half the distance is covered by increasing the rate by 25%.

i.e. increased speed:

\dfrac{5}{4}x\ units/hr

Hence, Time taken:

\dfrac{y}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}

Distance traveled is half of the total distance:

\Rightarrow \dfrac{D}{2} = \dfrac{5x}{4}\times (\dfrac{y}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2})\\\Rightarrow D = \dfrac{5x}{2}\times (\dfrac{y}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}) .... (2)

Dividing (1) by (2):

\dfrac{xy\times 4}{2\times 5x(y-1)} = 1\\\Rightarrow 2y=5y-5\\\Rightarrow 3y=5\\\Rightarrow y =1.67\ hours
