Question 1028978: Ap party of hunters made a trip of 380 miles to a hunting lodge in 7 hours. they traveled 4 hours on a paved highway and the remainder of the time on a pasture road. If the average velocity through the pasture was 25 miles per hour less than that on the highway, fine the average velocity and the distance traveled on each part of the trip. Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be the pace traveled on pavement. Then:
4(n)+3(n-25)=380
7n-75=380
7n=455
n=65
n-25=40
4(65)=260 miles on highway; 120 miles on pasture road!!!!!!!!!!!!!
