The key is Esther travelled the same distance - x - in both her morning and evening commute.
45(time she took in the morning, or p) = x
30(time she took in the evening, or q) = x
Therefore 45(p) = 30(q), or divide both sides by 5 and get 9(p) = 6(q). I know you can divide it further, but these numbers are small enough and it's not worth the time.
Since the whole trip took an hour, (p + q) = 60min, and so, p = 60-q.
Therefore 9(60-q) = 6q or 540-9q = 6q. So 540 = 15q, which makes q = 36. If q = 36, then by (p+q)=60, p (the time she took in the morning) must equal 24.
45 miles per hour, her speed in the morning, times (24/60) hours, her time, makes 18 miles travelled in the morning. If you check, 30 miles per hour times (36/60) hours also makes 18 miles in the evening.

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
1.567 rounded to the nearest tenths place is 1.6
Answer:
x=60
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5x + 1/4x=51
12/20x+5/20x=51
17/20x=51
17x=1020
x=60
Double-Check:
3/5(60)+1/4(60)=51
180/5+60/4=51
36+15=51
51=51
Hope it helped!
