    Given that the time taken to get to campus is inversely proportional to driving rate, let the time be t and rate be r, thus the function will be written as:'

    t=k/r

    where

    k is the constant of proportionality given by:

    k=tr

    when r=20 mph, t=1.25 hrs

    thus

    k=20*1.25

    k=25 miles

    thus the formula is:

    t=25/r

    when r=55 mph, the value of t will be:

    t=25/55

    t=5/11 hours
