How we will calculate ratio of travelling time and stoppage time in this question?

@Brijesh Kesharia,

40 + 45 + 50 + 55 + 60 + 65 + 70 = 385.

So, it takes 7 hrs.

54km -------- 60min
9km ----------- ?min


Then, 9km÷54km * 60min = 10mints.

Thanks, @Swathi.

By using formula, we can solve these in less time.

Ans is 12 min. Solve the problem by taking 10mins and then 12mins.

How we take the ratio of (9÷54)*60?

Please explain this step.

Can anyone clearly explain why we had taken 9/54 instead of 9/45?
