Answer:

the scenic route take 6h 40m

Step-by-step explanation:

first we have to make an equation that represents the relationship of each route

x = scenic route

y = direct route

x = y + y * 25/100

now we have to make an equation that represents the routes over time

x + y = 12

we replace the x by what is the same in the first equation (y + y * 25/100) in the second equation

x + y = 12

(y + y * 25/100) + y = 12

2 y + 0.25 y = 12

2.25y = 12

y = 12/2.25

if we spend this in minutes multiplying it by 60

y = 12/2.25 * 60 = 320 m = 5h 20m

x + y = 12

x + (5h 20m) = 12h

x = 12h - 5h 20m

x = 6h 40m

Answer: the scenic route would take 6.67 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time it takes the team to travel through the direct route.

The scenic route takes 25% longer than the direct route. This means that the time it will take the team to travel through the scenic route is

t + (25/100 × t) = t + 0.25t = 1.25t

If the total travel time to and from the destination is 12 hours, it means that

t + 1.25t = 12

2.25t = 12

t = 12/2.25

t = 5.33 hours

The time it will take to travel the scenic route is

12/2.25 × 1.25 = 6.67 hours
