    Speed=distance/time

    suppose the distance of the first day is d, and the time is t

    distance of the second day: d+0.17d=1.17d

    time of the second day: t+0.2t=1.2t

    speed of the second day: 1.17d/1.2t=0.975 (d/t) = (1-0.025) (d/t)

    so the speed of the second day is 2.5% slower than the first day.
