Answer:

Robin should cycle at 25 kph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the desired speed be “x” kph because it's unknown

Speed (kph) = 20 kph → 20 minutes
Time (minutes) = x kph = 16 minutes

The faster the bicycle is driven, the less time is required to reach the destination.

Speed needed to shorten travel time to 16 minutes:
“x”kph

Time taken when the speed is 20 kph:
20 minutes

Speed needed to reach a travel time of 20 minutes:
20 kph

Time taken when the speed is x kph:
16 minutes

16.x=20.20
(Get the cross products)

16x/16=400/16
(Divide both sides by 16)

400 ÷ 16 = 25

x=25
