Question 3

Kiki and Daekon both drive to their new home 400km away. Kimi drives the family car at an average speed of 60kmph. Daemon drives the removal truck at an average of 50kmph. During the journey, Kiki stops for a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes. Daemon stops for half as long. What is the defence in minutes between their arrival times?

Answer 3

40
D’s journey:
(Total distance)400 km divided by (speed) 50kmph= 8hours
8 hours + (1 hour 20 mins divided by 2) = 8 hours 40mins

K’s journey:
400km divides by 60kmph= 6 hours 40 minutes
6 hours 40mins + 1 hour 20mins = 8 hours

Time difference:
8 hours 40 minutes- 8 hours = 40mins
