Answer:
she
Step-by-step explanation:
bc c
M = hours driven by Maria
c = hours driven by Carlos
since we know that Carlos was driving at an average of 52 mph, then in 1 hour he drove 52 miles, in 2 hours he drove 2*52 miles in "c" hours he drove c*52 miles or
52c.
Maria on the other hand is faster and does 54 mph, in 1 hour she does 1 * 54 miles, and on 2 hours she does 2 * 54 miles and in "m" hours she does m * 54 miles or
54m.
now, we know the total amount of miles they both drove is 217, so whatever "m" and "c" are we know that
54m + 52c = 217.
we also know it took 4.1 for the whole trip, so
m + c = 4.1.
![\bf \begin{cases} m+c=4.1\implies \boxed{c}=4.1-m\\ 54m+52c=217\\ -------------\\ 54m+52\left( \boxed{4.1-m} \right)=217 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 54m-52m+213.2=217\implies 2m=3.8 \\\\\\ m=\cfrac{3.8}{2}\implies m=1.9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%0Am%2Bc%3D4.1%5Cimplies%20%5Cboxed%7Bc%7D%3D4.1-m%5C%5C%0A54m%2B52c%3D217%5C%5C%0A-------------%5C%5C%0A54m%2B52%5Cleft%28%20%5Cboxed%7B4.1-m%7D%20%5Cright%29%3D217%0A%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A54m-52m%2B213.2%3D217%5Cimplies%202m%3D3.8%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0Am%3D%5Ccfrac%7B3.8%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20m%3D1.9)
so Maria drove for 1.9 hours.
How many hours did Carlos drive for? well, c = 4.1 - m.
