Question

A sailor on leave drove to Yosemite Park from his home at 60 miles per hour. On his trip home his rate was 10 miles per hour less and the trip took one hour longer. How far is his home from the park?

Answer 1

We need to know the distance
Distance = speed × time
Speed = 60 - 10 = 50 mph
Time = 1 hr
Therefore Distance = 50 × 1 = 50 miles
