The distance between two cities is 180km. The distance was covered by a car at the rate of 50km/h, by a bus 45km/h, by a truck at 40km/h, and by a bicycle at 25km/h. How lond did each take to travel the entire distance? Are speed and time directly proportional or inversely proportional? What is the constant of variation?

The speed and time are directly proportional in that the higher the speed the lesser the time and vice versa.

The constant is the total distance which is 180 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

The distance between the  two cities is 180km

1.The distance was covered by a car at the rate of 50km/h

The time taken will be

velocity= distance/time

time= distance/velocity

time= 180/50

time= 3.6 hours

2.The distance was covered by a bus 45km/h

The time taken will be

velocity= distance/time

time= distance/velocity

time= 180/45

time= 4 hours

3.The distance was covered by a bicycle at 25km/h

The time taken will be

velocity= distance/time

time= distance/velocity

time= 180/25

time= 7.2 hours
