Annoying problem

Swaine55

Hello elo Hello,

For some reason this is stuck in my head and annoying me.

A journey takes 1hr 20mins @ 120kmh, how long does it take @ 160kmh?

I originally thought 53.33, but now im thinking maybe 60min?

Thanks

60 minutes.

bnt

1h20 = 1⅓ hours
x 120 km/h = 160 km.
So ...

SORRY, read it wrong.

So wife and I worked it out, yes were are sad, if it takes a journey 1 hour 20 minutes at 120kmh then you've travelled 144kms.

So,

144 / 160 * 60 = 54mins

Is that not wrong, travelling 120kmh for an hour would take an hour, no?

How can it take 1 hour 20 minutes at 120 km?

They are saying that they are travelling for 1 and 20 mins at that speed, not that they took that amount of time to travel 120km of distance.

I had to double take at it myself too. :P

160km. 1 hour 20 minutes is and hour and a third, not 1.2 hours.

80mins @120 hm/hr OR (4/3)x120= 160km travelled

160km @ 160km/hr is therefore 1Hr
