Question 496154: sSally is taking a road trip from point A to point B, and then on to point C. During the first portion of her trip (A to B), she travels along rural roads at a constant speed, s, miles per hour. During the second portion of her trip (B to C) she travels along the highway at a constant speed which is double her speed on the first portion. If it is 89 miles from A to B and 98 miles from B to C, express the total time of her trips as a function of her speed during the first portion of the trip, s.
