Question 428744: Maria runs through the countryside at a rate of 10 mph. She returns along the same route at 6 mph. If the total trip took 1 hr and 36 minutes, how far did she run total? Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! D=RT
D=6T
D=10(1.6-T)
6T=10(1.6-T)
6T=16-10T
6T+10T=16
16T=15
T=16/16
T=1 HOUR FOR THE 6MPH RIDE
D=6*1
D=6 MILES.
PROOF:
6=10(1.6-1)
6=10*.6
6=6
