Question

Leo was driving at 60km/ph. He wanted to increase his distance by 25% for the next part of the trip, be he also wanted to cut his time in half. How fast would he have to be going?

Answer 1

He wants to go 60*1.25 = 75km in half an hour.

s = 60*1.25*2 =150km/h

Answer 2

That's the answer i got, but it took me 2 hours to get it, and i still wasn't sure.
what is "s" ??
i was trying to d=r x t ????

Answer 3

Wait... maybe i interpreted the q wrong.

Answer 4

s = speed

Answer 5

Re-re-reading the question i think my first answer is what they are asking.

Answer 6

But he wants to go even FURTHER, 25%,,,,so he would have to go even FASTER then 120kph right??

Answer 7

Yeah, it'll be 150km/h.

Answer 8

Thanks SO much!!

Answer 9

Your welcome.

What made me second guess the question is that i was thinking .... "He wants to go 60*1.25 = 75km in half an hour." ... which isn't necessarly true. He just wants to increase his distance by 25%.

So yeah the answer is definitely:

speed = 60*1.25*2 =150km/h
