After several trips, they realized that considering the technical stops and the speed reduction due to the crossing of small towns, the speed is reduced in approximately 15%. Design a solution strategy to calculate the estimated time to get to a city, if you know the distance in miles between the starting point an the destination city, the average speed in miles/hour, and the speed reduction of 15%.

EXERCISE #4The Miami Triathlon consists of three events: swim, bike and run. If they give you the time in hours and minutes that a competitor made in each of the events, compute the total time of the competitor in hours and minutes.
