Answer:

90 miles

Explanation:

Let d represent the distance to Grandma's house.

The speed going was ...

speed = distance/time

speed = d/2

The speed coming home was ...

speed = d/2.25

The difference of these speeds is 5 miles per hour:

d/2 -d/2.25 = 5

2.25d -2d = 5(4.50) . . . . . multiply by 4.50

0.25d = 22.5 . . . . . . . . . . .simplify

d = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4

Grandma's house is 90 miles away.
