Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sheyna drives to the lake with average speed of 60 mph and

v_1 = 60\ mph

Sheyna drives back from the lake with average speed of 36 mph

v_2 = 36\ mph

It took 2 hours less time to get there than it did to get back.

Let t_1 be the time taken to drive to lake.

Let t_2 be the time taken to drive back from lake.

t_2-t_1 = 2 hrs ..... (1)

To find:

Total time taken = ?

t_1+t_2 = ?

Solution:

Let D be the distance to lake.

Formula for time is given as:

Time =\dfrac{Distance}{Speed }

t_1 = \dfrac{D}{60}\ hrs

t_2 = \dfrac{D}{36}\ hrs

Putting in equation (1):

\dfrac{D}{36}-\dfrac{D}{60} = 2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5D-3D}{180} = 2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2D}{180} = 2\\\Rightarrow D = 180\ miles

So,

t_1 = \dfrac{180}{60}\ hrs = 3 \ hrs

t_2 = \dfrac{180}{36}\ hrs = 5\ hrs

So, the answer is:

t_1+t_2 = \bold{8\ hrs}
