Question

a village is 20 miles away from Belfast. Connor drives from the village to Belfast at an average speed of 40mph. Kelly drives from the village to Belfast at an average speed of 50mph. How much longer will the journey take Connor in minutes?.

Answer 1

6 minutes

Explanation:

Connor drives from the village to Belfast at an average speed of 40mph.

The distance covered is 20 miles.

Time = distance/ speed

Time = 20/40

Time = 0.5 hours

Time = 30 minutes.

Kelly drives from the village to Belfast at an average speed of 50mph.

Time = distance/speed

Time = 20/50

Time = 0.4 hours

Time = 24 minutes

It will take Conor 30 - 24 = 6 minutes longer than Kelly
