Let the time taken by Vince to complete the race was x hours.
Maury completed the race 1.5 hours faster. This means Maury complete the race in (x - 1.5) hours.
Average Speed of Maury = 16 miles per hour
Average Speed of Vince = 12 miles per hour
Distance = Speed x Time.
For Maury:
Distance = 16(x - 1.5)
For Vince:
Distance = 12x
Since the distance covered by both was the same, we can equate the two equations as:
16(x - 1.5) = 12x
16x - 24 = 12x
4x = 24
x = 6
This means Vince complete the race in 6 hours.
Distance = Speed x Time = 12 x 6 = 72 miles
Thus, the total distance of the race was 72 miles.
Well 300 and 30 ones would be {330} and 30 hundreds and 30 tens would be 3,300 because 30 times 100 equals 3,000 and 30 times 10 equals 300. Hope this helps :}
The answer is 41 miles
Imagine the diagonal distance is called c
Using Pythagorean theorem 40^2 + 9^2 = c^2
1600 + 81 = c^2
The square root of 1681 is 41
So c = 41
