Question

Matt made a trip to his friend's house and back. On

the trip there he drove 24 miles per hour and on the
return trip he went 30 miles per hour. How long did
the trip there take if the return trip took 4 hours

Answer 1

————>
24 mph (? hour trip there)
<————
30 mph (4 hour return trip)

If the return trip took 4 hours, then that means the total miles away would be 120. Matt was driving at 30 mph and drove for four hours, After multiplying 30 by 4, you will get 120. Once you’ve done that, you can do 120 divided by 24. Now that you know how many miles away his friend’s house is, you can estimate the time it took him to arrive by driving at 24 mph. 120 / 24 = 5

Answer: 5 hours
