For many years, the posted highway speed limit was 88.5 km/hr (55 mi/hr) but in recent years some rural stretches of highway have increased their speed limit to 104.6 km/hr (65 mi/hr). In Maine, the distance from Portland to Bangor is 215 km. How much time can be saved in making this trip at the new speed limit?
