a car traveling at a certain constant speed takes 10 seconds longer to travel 1 km than it would take to travel 1 km at 80 km / hour . at what speed , in km / hr , is the car traveling ?
time to cover 1 kilometer at 80 kilometers per hour is 1 / 80 hours = 3,600 / 80 seconds = 45 seconds ; time to cover 1 kilometer at regular speed is 45 + 10 = 55 seconds = 55 / 3,600 hours = 1 / 65 hours ; so , we get that to cover 1 kilometer 1 / 65 hours is needed - - > regular speed 65 kilometers per hour ( rate is a reciprocal of time or rate = distance / time ) . answer : d
divide(1, divide(add(multiply(const_3600, divide(1, 80)), 10), const_3600))
