To solve this problem, we can set up the equation t = k/r, where t is the time, r is the speed, and k is the constant of variation.
Given that it takes 4 hours to drive the distance at 35 miles per hour, we can set up the equation as 4 = k/35.
Solving for k, we get k = 4 * 35 = 140.
Now, we can use the constant of variation to find the time it takes to drive the same distance at 45 miles per hour: t = 140/45 = about 3.11 hours.
Therefore, it will take about 3.11 hours to drive the same distance at 45 miles per hour.
The time t required to drive a certain distance varies inversely with the speed r. If it takes 4 hours to drive the distance at 35 miles per hour, how long will it take to drive the same distance at 45 miles per hour?
