Answer 1

112.5 km

Explanation:

The lorry needed 45 minutes to travel the remaining 0.4 of the journey and was traveling at 60 km/hr.

First, convert minutes to hours:

45 min × (1 hr / 60 min) = 0.75 hr

Now use distance equation:

distance = rate × time

0.4d = 60 × 0.75

d = 112.5

The distance between the towns is 112.5 km.
