Question

Clara travels from her home to Stoke.

The distance from her home to Stoke is 100 miles.
She travels at an average speed of 50 miles per hour.
She stops for 20 minutes on the journey. Clara arrives in Stoke at 10:10 am.
At what time did she leave home?​

Answer 1

7:50 am

Explanation:

Clara took 2 hours to reach, and she took a 20 min break, so she left at 7:50 and arrived at 10:10.

Answer 2

7:50

Explanation:

50 miles per hour/50 miles per 60 min.

50 miles + 50 miles = 100 miles.

if 50 miles takes 1 hour, 100 miles would equal to 2 hours.

considering clara took a 20 min break, thats 2 hours and 20 minutes.. subtract that from the time she arrived and you would get 7:50
