Answer:

Eudora spent 0.5 hours in running and 1.5 hours flying using her jet-pack.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent time spent in running.

We have been given that the entire trip took 2 hours, so time spent in flying the jet-packs would be 2-x.

We know that distance is equal to speed times time.

\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times\text{Time}

Eudora ran from her home to a secret laboratory at an average speed of 12 km, so distance traveled by running would be 12x.

Eudora took one of her jet-packs and flew to her school at an average speed of 76 km, so distance covered by jet-packs would be 76(2-x).

We are told that Eudora traveled a total distance of 120 km. We can represent this information in an equation as:

12x+76(2-x)=120

12x+152-76x=120

Combine like terms:

-64x+152=120

-64x+152-152=120-152

-64x=-32

Divide both sides by -64:

\frac{-64x}{-64}=\frac{-32}{-64}

x=0.5

Therefore, Eudora spent 0.5 hours in running.

Upon substituting x=0.5 in expression for time spent in flying jet-packs, we will get:

2-x\Rightarrow 2-0.5=1.5

Therefore, Eudora spent 1.5 hours flying using her jet-pack.
