Question

A man rides out into the country at a uniform rate of 20 miles per hour. He rests 2 hours and then rides back at 20 miles per hour. He is gone 5 hours. How far did he go?

Answer 1

100 miles

1 hours - 20 Miles
2 hours - 40 Miles
3 hours - 60 Miles
4 hours - 80 Miles
5 hours -100 Miles

Answer 2

The correct answer should be 60 miles.

This is because although he was out for 5 hours, he only drove for 3 hours and rested for the other 2.

distance= (5-2)*20
distance= 3*20
distance= 60 miles

Hope this helps!
