Question

Bonnie and Connie ran a total of 135 miles last week. Bonnie runs at a constant speed of 7 miles per hour, and Connie runs at a constant speed of 5 miles per hour. If Bonnie and Connie ran for a total of 24 hours last week, how many minutes did Bonnie run

Answer 1

Answer: 450 Minutes

Step-by step explanation:

135-x)/5 = hours connie runs

x/7 = hours Bonnie runs

(135-x)/5 + x/7 = 24

135-x + 5x/7 = 120

945-7x+5x = 840

-2x = -105

x = 52.5 miles = distance of Bonnie

52.5 miles / 7 m/hr = 7.5 hours = 450 minutes
