Question

A truck driver averages 62 miles per hour while delivering freight to a customer. On the return trip, the driver averages 50 miles per hour due to construction. The total driving time is 7 hours. How long did the return trip take? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an hour.

Answer 1

Answer: 7 h and 20 min

Explanation:

The return trip: 50

And hour : 7

So 50/7= the total return trip

50/7 = about 7.1428

Round to nearest 10th

Equals 7.20 so 7 h and 20 min is the total time.
