Question

Michael lives in the northwest corner of Clark County. Clara

Answer 1

Answer:

About 0.41 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

THe distance between Michael and Clara is 44 km.

We know D = RT,

Where

D is distance

R is rate (speed)

T is time

For Michael, we can write:

D = 47t

For Clara, we can write:

D = 61t

If we let michael's distance be x, Clara's distance would be 44 - x

So, we can say:

x = 47t

and

44 - x = 61t

Putting first equation into 2nd, we get:

44 - 47t = 61t

SOlving:

44 - 47t = 61t

44 = 61t + 47t

44 = 108t

t = 44/108 = 0.41 hours

The commute took 0.41 hours
