    T = k/r/

    4 hours and 35 miles per hour,

    we find that k = 140.

    Now use that 140 in another equation to solve for t:

    t = 140/45, and

    t = 3.1 hours

    The formula for this is t = k/r, read "t varies inversely as r". If the info they give us is 4 hours and 35 miles per hour, we find that k = 140. Now use that 140 in another equation to solve for t: t = 140/45, and t = 3.1 hours
