Distance for the whole race = 160 miles

Distance for first part = 90F miles

Distance for first part + Distance for last part = Distance for whole race

90F + Distance for last part = 160

Distance for last part = 160 - 90F

F represents the hours raced at the first part

L represents the hours raced at the first part

Time for whole race = 2 hours

Time for the first part + Time for the last part = Time for the whole race

F + L = 2.........................................(1)

Rate (mph) x Time (hours) = Distance (miles)

Time for the last part = (Distance for the last part) / Rate for the last part

L = (160-90F) / 60

60L = 160 - 90F

60L + 90F = 160...............................(2)

From equation (1)

F = 2 - L.............................(3)

Substitute equation (3) into equation (2)

60L + 90 (2 - L) = 160

60L + 180 - 90L = 160

90L - 60L = 180 - 160

30L = 20

L = 20/30

L = 0.67

Time for the last part = 0.67 hours

F = 2 - L

F = 2 - 0.67

F = 1.33

Time for the first part = 1.33 hours

Distance for first part = 90F

Distance for first part = 90(1.33)

Distance for first part = 119.7 miles

Distance for last part = 160 - 119.7

Distance for last part = 40.3

The complete table is shown below:
