<p>Use the formula:</p>
28
<p>Speed * Time = Constant 60 * 2 = 120 At 80 km/h, the time is: 80 * Time = 120</p>
27
<p>Speed * Time = Constant 60 * 2 = 120 At 80 km/h, the time is: 80 * Time = 120</p>
29
<p>Time = 120 / 80 = 1.5 hours</p>
28
<p>Time = 120 / 80 = 1.5 hours</p>
30
<p>Therefore, the travel time at 80 km/h is 1.5 hours.</p>

<p>Rate * Time = Constant 150 * 4 = 600 At 200 liters per hour, the time is: 200 * Time = 600</p>
37
<p>Rate * Time = Constant 150 * 4 = 600 At 200 liters per hour, the time is: 200 * Time = 600</p>
39
<p>Time = 600 / 200 = 3 hours</p>
38
<p>Time = 600 / 200 = 3 hours</p>
