Question 1161456
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


The *[tex \Large \frac{1}{6}] comes from the fact that 10 minutes is *[tex \Large \frac{1}{6}] of an hour.  The question says that the trip home is ten minutes shorter than the trip to the office.  So if the duration of trip home is represented by *[tex \Large t] then *[tex \Large t\ +\ \frac{1}{6}] represents the time it took to get to the office.


Then the solution to:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  50\(t\ +\ \frac{1}{6}\)\ =\ 60t]


is the time it took to get home, and then *[tex \Large 60t] would give you the answer to the question posed.


The following two equations would work just as well:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 50t\ =\ 60\(t\ -\ \frac{1}{6}\)]


which would reveal the time to get to the office and then *[tex \Large 50t] would give you the answer.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
