  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    Answer :-

    → Total time [in minutes] = 15 minutes

    → Total time [in hours] = 0.25 hour

    Explanation :-

    We have :-

    • Speed during first journey = 6 km/h

    • Speed during return journey = 9 km/h

    • Distance = 900 m = 0.9 km

    ________________________________

    For first journey :-

    ⇒ Time = Distance/Speed

    ⇒ t₁ = 0.9/6

    ⇒ t₁ = 0.15 h

    For return journey :-

    ⇒ Time = Distance/Speed

    ⇒ t₂ = 0.9/9

    ⇒ t₂ = 0.1 h

    ________________________________

    Total time taken (in hours) :-

    = t₁ + t₂

    = (0.15 + 0.1) h

    = 0.25 h

    Total time taken (in minutes) :-

    ⇒ 1 hour = 60 mins

    ⇒ 0.25 hour = 0.25 × 60

    ⇒ 15 mins
