Question

Abhasra made a trip to the town hall and back. On the trip there she drove 60 mph and on the return trip she went 75 mph . How long did the trip there take if the return trip took four hours ?

HELP ASAP PLEEASE!!

Answer 1

Trip to town hall took 5 hours

Explanation:

Distance traveled = Speed x Time

We know the return trip took 4 hours at 75 mph

So distance traveled from town hall to start = 75 x 4 = 300 miles

The distance from start to town hall is assumed to be the same.

So distance to town hall from start = 300 miles also

Time taken to travel 300 miles at 60 mph = 300/60 = 5 hours
