Answer:
14 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance traveled from home to destination = x miles.
Speed while going to friend's house = 35 miles per hour.
Speed while coming back = 40 miles per hour.
Total Time taken for the journey = 45 minutes = 0.75 hours.
Let the time taken while going to friend's house = y hours.
Therefore, the time taken while going to friend's house = (0.75 - y) hours.
To find x and y, model the speeds of both the journeys.
Speed while going to friend's house = Distance/Time.
35 = x/y.
x = 35y (Equation 1).
Speed while coming back = Distance/Time.
40 = x/(0.75 - y).
x = 40(0.75 - y) (Equation 2).
Since x = x, therefore:
35y = 30 - 40y.
75y = 30.
y = 30/75.
y = 0.4 hours.
Put y = 0.4 hours in Equation 1:
x = 35y.
x = 35(0.4).
x = 14.
Therefore, the distance between my friend's house and my house is 14 miles!!!
His total would be 58.50 then you multiply by .25 percent then you take 14.63 and subtract that from the total and you get 43.87
60 minutes is an hour , you haven't given out what the 15, 30 and 60 are , and the 1 , 2 and 4 are(minutes or hours?)
This is mathXL right I know it exactly
