Question

The table below represents Bree’s trip from her home to the library and back. On her way to the library, she travels at 6 miles per hour. On her way home, she travels at 12 miles per hour. The total travel time is 2 hours. Which equation can be used to find the distance in miles from Bree’s house to the library?

Answer 1

S = V1 * t1 + V2 * t2 = 6 * 1 + 12 * 1 = 18

Explanation:

V = S/t

V = V1 + V2 + Vn

S = V * t

S = (V1 + V2 + Vn) * t
