To answer this item, we let x be the distance that Jimmy drove from his origin and back. Given the speeds, the time it takes for him to travel to and fro are,
                                   t1 = x / 46
                                   t2 = x / 52
respectively.

The equation that would best represent the scenario is,
                              x/46 - x/52 = 0.6
The value of x from the equation is 239.2.

The trip there takes x/46 which is equal to 239.2/46 which is also equal to 5.2 hours. The travel from the cabin back took 4.6 hours.

Answer:

9.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance be x km

T1 be time taken to go to trip

T2 be time taken to go back trip

Time = \frac{distance}{speed}

Average speed on way of trip = 46 km/h

T1 = \frac{x}{46}

Average speed on the way back = 52 km/h

T2 = \frac{x}{52}

According to question

T1-T2 = 0.6

\frac{x}{46}-\frac{x}{56}= 0.6

\frac{26x-23x}{1196}=0.6

3x=1196×0.6

3x=717.6

x=\frac{317.6}{2}

x=239.2 km

T1=\frac{239.6}{46}

T1=5.2 hour

T2=\frac{239.6}{52}

T2=4.6 hour

Total time taken to complete the trip = T1+T2

Total time = 5.2+4.6 =9.8

Hence the correct answer is 9.8 hours
