Tim's trip................






































Solution

The trip to grandma’s takes 30 minutes. (If he were travelling at 7kph he would take an hour. Travelling at twice that speed halves the time.) This means that the home trip takes a third of an hour or 20 minutes. Tim’s total travelling time is therefore 50 minutes. If he spends 10 minutes with grandma he can still get home to watch his favourite programme.
