Question

chelsea takes the bus to school,but she walks home. the bus travels to the school at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. while going home from school, chelsea walks at a speed of 2.5 miles per hour. in total, she takes 1 hour to travel to school and back. if (t) is the time it takes to go to school by bus, the equation that will help find the time it takes chelsea to get to school on the bus is?

Answer 1

For this case, the first thing you should know is:
 d: v * t
 Where,
 d: distance
 v: speed
 t: time
 To go to school by bus we have:
 d = 45 * t
 To return from school we have:
 d = 2.5 * (1-t)
 how the distance is the same:45 * t = 2.5 * (1-t)
 Answer:
 the equation that will help find the time it takes chelsea to get to school on the bus is:
 45 * t = 2.5 * (1-t)
 Note: the equation will have one solution.
