Question

Solve the following problems:

A Scooter covers a certain distance at a speed 40km/hr in 6 hours. How long does it take to travel the same distance at the speed of 60 km/hr?

Answer 1

Let the motorcycle take x hours to cover the particular distance at 60 km/h.

Ratio of speeds = 40: 60

Ratio of time durations = 6: x

The quantities involved in the situation are in inverse proportion.

∴ x: 6 = 40: 60

Thus, the motorcycle will take 4 hours to cover the distance at 60 km/h.
