Matt needs to travel 3 hours.
If 40km=1 hour
400km=? But there are two distances
200/40*1=5 hours
Therefore Kali needs to travel 5 hours to be 200 km away from the house.
If 50km=1 hour
200km=?
200/50*1hr=4hrs Therefore Matt needs to travel 4hrs to be 200 km away from the house. But Kali traveled 1hr earlier than Matt. 4hrs-1hr=3hrs
Therefore Matt has to travel for 3 hours to be 400km away from Kali.
