Answer:
4/11 of 2 1/2 = 4/11 * 5/2 = 20 / 22 = 10/11
a common denominator of 11 and 4 is 44
So 40 / 44 - 33 / 44 = 7/44
Check 4/11 * 2.5 = .909
3/4 = .75
difference = .909 - .750 = .159
7/44 = .159
Mr. Reed DATA:
rate = 40 mph ; time = x 4.5 hrs ; distance = 40x miles
-----
Mrs. Reed DATA:
rate = 60 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = 60x - 210 miles
------
Equation:
40x = 60x -210
-20x = -210
x = 10.5 hrs
x-3.5 = 7 hrs (Mr. Reed's time)
