On a certain day James took 8 Hours to travel from Nairobi to Kisumu by bus. In what ratio did the time James took to travel from Nairobi to Kisumu decrease?
To determine the ratio by which the time James took to travel from Nairobi to Kisumu decreased, we need to first find out the time it took for the return trip.
Let's assume James took 6 hours to travel from Kisumu to Nairobi on the return trip.
The time taken for the return trip is 8 hours - 6 hours = 2 hours.
Now, we can calculate the ratio of the time taken for the initial trip to the time taken for the return trip:
Initial trip time: Return trip time
8 hours : 2 hours
= 4 : 1
Therefore, the time James took to travel from Nairobi to Kisumu decreased in the ratio 4:1.
