You can put this solution on YOUR website! On the first part of a trip to Carmel traveling on the freeway, Marge averaged 50 mph. On the rest of the trip, which was 10 mi longer than the first part, she averaged 50 mph. Find the total distance to Carmel if the second part of the trip took 30 min more than the first part.
:
This problem does not make sense; at 50 mph it would take 12 min to cover 10 mi,
yet it says it took 30 min longer to cover the additional 10 miles
:
Did he average the same speed on both parts of the trip (50 mph), what goes here?
