A helicopter takes 3 hours from Kano to Lagos at a constant speed. How long does the same journey take another helicopter at a quarter of the speed of the first?

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. For a fixed distance, time varies inversely as speed.
  2. A quarter of the speed means 4 times the time: 3×4=123 \times 4 = 12 hours, option D.
