Question 796876: Geffory drove 60 miles per hour on the way to visit his parents. On the way back to school he drove 75 miles per hour and it took him 1 hour less than it did to drive to his parents home. What was the total driving time for Gefferys parents? How far is Gefferys school from his parents home? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Distance equals rate times time. So if it took hours to drive miles at 60 mph, and it took hours to drive the same distance at 75 mph] then:
Solve for to get the young man's (don't know if he is Geffory or Geffery) driving time. His parent's driving time is zero -- the boy went to visit them while they were presumably home the entire time. Then calculate or to find the distance.
