Question

A bike is driven on a road from Brookville to Centraltown. Out and back to Brookville at 10mph for 3.5 hours. The closest one gets to Centraltown is 25miles away. What is the distance from Brookville to Centraltown on that road

Answer 1

The total distance from Brookville to Central town is 60 miles .

Explanation:

Given as :

The speed of bike = s = 10 miles per hour

The time taken to cover distance = t = 3.5 hours

Let The total distance from Brookville to Central town = D miles

The distance which is closed to central town = 25 miles

Now, According to question

∵ Distance = Speed × time

Or, Distance = s × t

Or, Distance = 10 mph × 3.5 h

Or, Distance = 35 miles

Again

The total distance from Brookville to Central town = distance which is closed to central town + distance cover for 3.5 hours

Or, D = 25 miles + 35 miles

i.e D = 60 miles

So,The total distance from Brookville to Central town = D = 60 miles

Hence, The total distance from Brookville to Central town is 60 miles . Answer
