The time required to drive a fixed distance varies inversely as the speed. It takes 2 hr at a speed of 200 km/h to drive a fixed distance. How long will it take to drive the same distance at a speed of 80 km/h?

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

Time required to drive a fixed distance varies inversely as the Speed

T ∝ 1/S

k = proportionality constant hence,

T =k × 1/S

T = k/S

Step 1

Find k

It takes 2 hr at a speed of 200 km/h to drive a fixed distance

T = 2 hours, S = 200km/h

T = k/S

2 = k / 200

k = 2 × 200

k = 400

Step 2

How long will it take to drive the same distance at a speed of 80 km/h?

S = 80km/h

T = k/S

k = 400

T = 400/80

T = 5

Therefore, it takes 5 hours to drive the same distance at a speed of 80km/hr
