The time taken to complete a journey varies directly as the distance (d) and inversely as the average speed (s). if it takes 3 hours to complete a 280km trip at 80km/h, how long will it take to travel 546km at 65km/h?

Given that, the time (t) taken to complete a journey varies directly as the distance (d) and inversely as the average speed (s).

Hence, we can set an equation as following:

t = k\frac{d}{s}

Other information is that it takes 3 hours to complete a 280km trip at 80km/h.

So, plug in t = 3, d = 280 and s = 80 in the above equation to get the value of k. Therefore,

Divide each sides by 3.5.

k = 0.857142857

So, k = 0.857

Now we need to find the time when d= 546 and s = 65. So, plug in these values in the above equation to get the value of t. Hence,

t = 0.857*\frac{546}{65}

= 0.857 * 8.4

= 7.1988

= 7 hours ( Rounded to nearest integer).

So, it will take 7 hours.

Hope this helps you!

shift 4 units up, and 1 unit left.

it will translate f(x) = 3^x to g(x) = 3^(x+1) + 4
