Question 458585: On Monday, Roger drove to work in 38 minutes. On Tuesday, he averaged 10 miles per hour more, and it took him 5 minutes less to get to work. How far (in miles) does he travel to work? (Please round your answer to one decimal place.) Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 38/60 hrs x n mph=33/60 x (n+10)mph
38n/60=33(n+10)/60
38n=33n+330
5n=330
n=66 mph
38/60 x 66 mph=41.8 miles
33/60 x 76 mph=41.8 miles..
