The time t required to drive a certain distance varies inversely with the speed r. If it takes 2 hours to drive the distance at 30 miles per hour, how long will it take to drive the same distance at 35 miles per hour?

given that:- time=t, speed=r and let distance=d

we know that:- time=distance/speed

t = d/r

2 = d/30

D = 60 (total distance traveled in 2 hours)

t = 60/r

t = 60/35

t = 1.714 hours
