A man drives a car in a straight line south along a highway. He travels with a velocity of 112.6 km/hr S. How much time, in minutes, would he save if he were to instead travel with a velocity of 120.7 km/hr south?
A car goes from point A to point B. The speed of the car is constant at 81 km/hr for 66% of the total distance. At that point the weather gets bad and the car covers the remaining distance at 46 km/hr. If the total time of travel from A to B was 3.1 hours, what is the distance between the two points? Write your answer in km. Note: The time is in a decimal, NOT hours and minutes
