The distance that Cyril drove is
+d%5B1%5D+=+60%2A%2810%2F60%29+ km ( I changed minutes to hours )
The distance that Josh drove is
+d%5B2%5D+=+90%2A%285%2F60%29+ km
+d%5B1%5D+%2B+d%5B2%5D+=+60%2A%2810%2F60%29+%2B+90%2A%285%2F60%29+
+d%5B1%5D+%2B+d%5B2%5D+=+10+%2B+7.5+
+d%5B1%5D+%2B+d%5B2%5D+=+17.5+
The distance to Josh's office from Cyril's house
is 17.5 km
