Answer:
5/12 hour or 25 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula is
distance = rate * time
changing minutes to hours (50 * 1 /60 ) = 5/6 hours
distance = 20 mph * 5/6 hours
distance = 50/3 miles
We need to go the same distance at 40 mph
50/3 = 40 mph * time
Multiply each side by 1/40
50 /3 * 1/40 = 40 * 1/40 *t
50/3 *1/40 =t
5/12 of an hour
Changing back to minutes
5/12 * 60 =25
