Question

mia drove her car at a rate of 60 mph from her home to los angeles. her mother, katrina, made the same trip at a rate of 80 mph, and took her 1/2 hours less than it took mia to make the trip. how far is mia's home from los angeles?

Answer 1

So if Katrina did 80mph and

Mia did 60mph

Lets say the destination is 90 miles away that would take 1hr 30minsfor Mia and

1hr 10mins for Katrina. so that's only a gap of 20minutes not half an hour.

So if the destination was 120miles away it would take Mia 2 hours and Katrina 1hour 30mins that is a gap of 30mins.

ANSWER: 120miles
