Answer:
time taken with speed 23 km/h will be 1.8 hours or 1 hour 48 minutes
Explanation:
Given:
Time is inversely proportional to the speed
mathematically,
t ∝ (1/r)
let the proportionality constant be 'k'
thus,
t = k/r
therefore, for case 1
time = 3 hr
speed = 14 km/hr
3 = k/14
also,
for case 2
let the time be = t
r = 23 km/h
thus,
we have
t = k/23
on dividing equation 2 by 1
we get
or
or
t = 1.8 hr = or 1 hour 48 minutes ( 0.8 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 48 minutes)
