Question 59089: Paloma Rey drove to work on Wednesday at 40 miles per hour, an darrived one minute late. She left home at the same time on Thursday, drove 45 miles per hour, and arrived one minute early. How far does Ms. Rey drive to work? Answer by jayanthi(5) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let time be X hrs
Speed * Time = Distance
= 40(X+1/60) = 45(X-1/60)
= 40X = 2/3 = 45X - 3/4
= 5X = 2/3 + 3/4
= 8+9/12 = 17/12
= X = 17/60 hrs = 17mints
= Distance = Speed * Time
= 40(17/60+1/60)
= 40 * 18/60
