Question 879089: the distance between city a and b is m miles, and the distance between b and c is 2/3 of the distance between city a and b. a delivery driver drove a route from city a to city b, and then from city b to city c, and finally, from city c back to city b. The total distance that the driver drove was 147 miles. What is the distance between city b and city c? Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance from a to c = 1 m + the distance from c to b m. Total distance = 2m
2m = 147
Divide each side by 2
m = 63 (the distance from a to b)
The distance between b and c is m, or *63 = 42
