A car travels a total distance of 317 miles. On the way to work it travels at a speed of 58 mph and on the way back it travels at a speed of 52 mph. The total time taken for the car is 5 hours and 45 min. How long does each of the speeds take? .. let the distance to work be x miles speed = 58 mph the distance return will be 317-x miles speed = 52 mph .. .. LCM = 52*58 .. .. .. -8x +18386 = 13*23*58 -8x=-18386+17342 -8x=-1044 x= -1044/-8 x= 130.5 miles. 130.5 / 58 = 2.25 hours at 58 mph .. 317-130.5 = 186.5 miles On return speed = 52 mph 3.5 hours at 52 mph
