Velocity ratio 2

The ratio of the walking speeds of A and B is 2:3. If B takes 36 minutes to cover a certain distance, how long does it take A?

Final Answer:

t1 =  54 min

Step-by-step explanation:

v1:v2 = 2:3 t2=36 min  s1=s2 v1 t1 = v2 t2 v1:v2 = t2:t1  2/3 = t2:t1  t1= t2/32  t1=t2 23=36 23=236 3=2108=54 min
