If a certain trip takes 40 minutes when you travel 50 miles per hour, how many minutes would it take if you travel 40 miles per hour?

It would take 50 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance, velocity and time

The speed is the rate at which the distance changes with respect to time. If x is the distance, t is the time, the speed v can be obtained by

We know the trip takes 40 minutes when traveling at 50 miles/hour. The distance can be determined by isolating x in the above equation

The given time is expressed in minutes, we need to convert it to hours. 40 minutes is . The distance is

If the speed was 40 miles/hour, the same distance would be covered in t hours, taken from the above equation as

24+x=y
