Answer:
120 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The speed is equal to the distance divided by the time
Let
s------> the speed in mph
d-----> the distance in miles
t -----> the time in hours
s=d/t
solve for the distance
d=s*t
<em>It will take Adam four hours to drive to Disney Park</em>
s=x mph
t=4 h
substitute
d=4x -----> equation A
<em>It will take Adam 2.5 times less time if driving 45 mph faster</em>
so
s=(x+45) mph
t=4/2.5=1.6 h
substitute
d=1.6(x+45) -----> equation B
equate equation A and equation B
4x=1.6(x+45)
Solve for x
4x=1.6x+72
4x-1.6x=72
2.4x=72
x=30 mph
Find the distance d
d=4x -----> d=4(30)=120 miles
