- A train 3
A train takes 3 hours to go from one station to another station. If its speed is decreased by 12 km/h then the journey time will increase by 45 min. What is the distance between the two stations? - Tourist Jirka
The distance between points A and B is 13.5 km. Jirka went from point A to point B at an unknown speed and for an unknown period. Back to point A, it went slower by 3 km/h, meaning it went 20 minutes more. How long does Jirka take the return journey? - Forth and back
The car drives from point A to point B at 78 km/h speed and back at 82 km/h. If I went there and back at a speed of 81 km/h, the journey would take five minutes less. What is the distance between points A and B?
