Answer:
465 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
S₁ = d₁/t₁............................... Equation 1
Where S₁ = Speed travels by Perry for the first journey, d₁= First distance traveled by Perry, t₁ = First time taken.
make d₁ the subject of the equation
d₁ = S₁t₁................... Equation 2
Given; S₁ = 55 miles per hour, t₁ = 5.5 hour
Substitute these values into equation 2
d₁ = 55×5.5
d₁ = 302.5 miles.
Also,
d₂ = s₂t₂.......................... Equation 2
Given: s₂ = 65 miles per hour, t₂ = 2.5 hours.
d₂ = 65×2.5
d₂ = 162.5 miles
Hence,
Total distance = d₁+d₂
Total distance = 302.5+162.5
Total disstance = 465 miles
