Question 363389: jans family drove to disney at 50mph and returned on the same route at 40mph. Find the distance to disney if their total driving time was 7.2 hours. Answer by amoresroy(361) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let D = distance to Disney in miles
T = travel time to Disney
7.2 - T = return time
50T = 40 (7.2 - T)
50T = 288 - 40T
90T = 288
T = 3.2 hours
D = 50 * 3.2
D = 160 miles
