If speed varies inversely as the time it takes to drive and Kris takes 5 hours driving at 55 mph, what speed will Martin need to drive if he wants to take 5 hours?
O 50 mph
52.4 mph
O 60.5 mph
O 51.5 mph

55mph . None of the options are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed varies inversely as the time it takes to drive, then v ∝ 1/t. where;

v is the speed

t is the time taken

Hence;

v = k/t with k being the constant of proportionality.

Since it takes Kris 5 hours when driving at 55 mph, we will substitute v = 55mph and t = 5 hours. into the equation above to get the value of k as shown:

55 = k/5

Cross multiply

k = 55*5

k = 275

Hence, to calculate the speed it will Martin to  drive for 5 hours, we will substitute k = 275 and t = 5 into the original equation v = k/t  as shownl

v = 275/5

v = 55 mph

Hence, we can conclude that Martin will also need to drive at a speed of 55mph if he wants to take 5hours.
