Question 18170: I could really use some help on this, I am terrible at wordproblems.
Tom Quig traveled 240 miles east of St. Louis. For most of the trip he averaed 60mph, but for one period of time he was slowed to 20 mph due to a major accident. If the total time of travel was 6 hours, how many miles did he drive at the reduced speed?
Here is what I did :
(60)**(60)
240 =3x
80 =x
Am I even close on this answer.
Please help, thank you so much.
