Question 1169140
<br>
Here is a completely different option for solving this kind of problem than the algebraic solution shown by the other tutor.<br>
The ratio of speeds is 3:2; since the distances are the same, the amounts of time are in the ratio 2:3.<br>
A ratio of 2:3 in times, with a total time of 15 hours, means 6 hours at one rate and 9 hours at the other rate.<br>
The distance to the town is 6 hours at 60 mph = 360 miles, or 9 hours at 40 mph = 360 miles.<br>
