Question 138676
Amanda travels to her aunts house at 90 kph and returns the next day at 60 kph.
If the round trip took 7 hours, how far is it from Amanda's house to the aunt's house?
-------------
To Aunts house DATA:
Rate = 90 kph; Distance = x km ; Time = x/90 hrs.
-------------------------
From Aunts house Data:
Rate = 60 kph ; Distance = x km; Time = x/60 hrs
------------------------
EQUATION:
time + time = 7 hrs.
x/90 + x/60 = 7
Multiply thru by 540 to get:
150x = 7*540
x = 7*540/150 = 252 km (distance to Aunt's house)
