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
