7. Diana took 2 hours to cycle from town X to town Y. Her average speed was 10 kilometers per hour.
a) Find the distance between the two towns. (2 marks)
b) If her average speed was increased by 2 kilometers per hour, how much time would she take
for the journey? (2 marks)

a.) 20 kilometers

b.)1.67 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) formula= speed =distance/time

Speed= 10km/hr

Distance=unknown

Time=2hrs

Therefore from formula, distance=speed x time

10 x 2

20 kilometers

b.) If average speed is increased by 2km/hr then

total speed= 2+10=12km/hr

Distance remains constant therefore distance= 20km

Therefore time =distance/speed

20/12

= 1.67 hours
