It takes Craig 3 hours to drive to visit his parents. If he drives 20% faster, how long will it take him to drive that same distance? Show all work

100% - 20%=80%

 

3hrs*80% = 3*0.8 = 2.4

 

2.4 hours = 2 hours and 24 minutes

rate x time = distance      distance/rate = time

 

x / 100% = 3      x = 300

300/120% = ?      

300/120 = 2.5 hours

20%  faster is 6/5 of the original rate

 

So

 

3 / (6/5)  =

 

15 / 6  =   

 

2. 5 hrs.
