Question 171495: I would like to check my answer and compare my work. Thanks for your help. Marcy traveled 240miles. For most of the distance she traveled 60mph, but had car trouble and traveled 20mph for a while of the trip. If the total travel time was 6 hrs, how many miles did she drive 20mph during her car trouble?
Answer by monika_p(71)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x -distance traveled 60mph
(240 - x)- distance traveled 20mph
x/60 +(240-x)/20 =6
x= 180
then distance traveled 20mph is 60miles
Prove 180m/60mph + 60m/20mph = 6 hrs
