Answer:
t = 25.5 min
Explanation:
To know how many minutes does Richard save, you first calculate the time that Richard takes with both velocities v1 = 65mph and v2 = 80mph.
[tex]t_1=\frac{x}{v_1}=\frac{150mi}{65mph}=2.30h\\\\t_2=\frac{x}{v_2}=\frac{150mi}{80mph}=1.875h[/tex]
Next, you calculate the difference between both times t1 and t2:
[tex]\Delta t=t_1-t_2=2.30h-1.875h=0.425h[/tex]
This is the time that Richard saves when he drives with a speed of 80mph. Finally, you convert the result to minutes:
[tex]0.425h*\frac{60min}{1h}=25.5min=25\ min\ \ 30 s[/tex]
hence, Richard saves 25.5 min (25 min and 30 s) when he drives with a speed of 80mph
