Question 455385: When Fitz drives to work, it takes him 36 minutes but when he takes the train it takes 20 minutes. Find the distance Fitz travels to work if the train travels an average of 48 miles per hour faster than his driving. Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 36x/60=(20/60)*(x+48)
6x/10=(x+48)/3
3x/5=x/3+16
x=60 mph
3*60/5=60/3+16
36=20+16
ok
1/3*108=36 miles
6/10*60=36 miles
