The distance between two places is 120 km. A car travelling at a certain speed can cover the distance in 2 hours 30 minutes. By how many km/h should the speed of the car be increased for it to take 30 minutes less to cover the distance? Don't spam!!
Step by step explanation is needed..

Distance between two places=120 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Time= 2 hrs 30 min

       =(2*60)min+30min

       =120min+30min

       =150min=150/60 hr

        = 5/2 hr

Speed = distance /time

          = (120/5/2)km/hr

          =(120×2/5)km/hr

          =(240/5)km/hr

          = 48 km/hr

New time = 2 hr 30min-30min

               = 2hr

Distance =120km

Speed  = Distance /time

           =120/2 km/hr

           = 60 km/hr

Increase in speed=(60-48)km/hr  

                            =12km/hr

Another way to show :

Distance = 120km

speed=Distance/time

=120/2.5=48 km/hr

New speed=120/2=60 Km/hr

change inspeed=60-48=12km/hr

four is not correct  i don't have the answer just don't want you to get it wrong
