Question 280518: A man leaves his home and drives to the beach at an average speed of 50 mph and returns home at an average speed of 30 mph . if the round trip takes 2 hours , the distance from home to the beach is
A 100 miles b 40 miles c 37.5 miles d 33.3 miles e 10 miles
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+y=2
50x=30y
x=3/4 and y =5/4
50*3/4=150/4=75/2=37.5
30*5/4=150/4=75/2=37.5
What did he do at the beach that was so important to drive 75 miles round trip that he didn't stay at the beach? This is one weird person!
