Question

A subway travels 60 mph from Glendale to Midtown. Another subway, traveling at 45 mph, takes 11 minutes longer for the same trip. how far apart are Glendale and Midtown.

Answer 1

To find the distance between Glendale and Midtown, set up and solve two equations using the formula distance = speed × time.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the formula:

distance = speed × time

Let's assume the distance between Glendale and Midtown is d. We can use the formula to set up the following equation:

d = 60 × t

where t is the time it takes to travel from Glendale to Midtown.

We are given that another subway, traveling at 45 mph, takes 11 minutes longer for the same trip. So, the time it takes for this subway is t + 11 minutes.

Setting up the equation for the second subway:

d = 45 × (t + 11/60)

Now, we can solve these two equations simultaneously to find the value of d.
