Answer:
The new speed is 56.25 miles/hour.
Explanation:
Since speed = distance/time;
time = distance/speed.
While driving at 50 miles/hour, time taken for one to complete 1 mile is (1/50) hour
(1/50) hour = (1/50) × 3600s = 72 seconds.
So, if this time to complete 1 mile (72 seconds) is reduced by 8 seconds,
New time to complete 1 mile will be = 72 - 8 = 64 seconds = (64/3600) hour = 0.0178 hour
New speed would be = (1 mile/64 seconds) = (1 mile/0.0178 hour) = 56.25 miles/hour.
Hope this Helps!!!
