 To get the length of the route use the expression for speed,

Distance = Speed × Time

Length of the route is 7 miles.

It's given in the question,

 Speed of Tomas and Tasha initially = 3.5 mph

Therefore, distance travelled by both with the speed of 2 mph one way will be,

 Distance = 3.5t [Here, t = time ]

Speed of both while coming back = 2 mph

And the time taken = t + (1 hour 30 minutes)

                                 = (t + 1.5) hours

Therefore, distance travelled while coming back = Speed × Time

                                                                                  = 2(t + 1.5)

Since, length of the route is same both ways,

3.5t = 2(t + 1.5)

3.5t = 2t + 3

3.5t - 2t = 3

1.5t = 3

t = 2 hours

Now substitute the value of t in the expression to get the distance of the route,

Distance = 3.5t

               = 3.5 × 2

               = 7 miles

 Therefore, route was 7 miles long.

Answer: Time: Approximately 2 hours and 21 minutes

Length: 6 miles

If this doesn't answer your question please read the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour and 30 minutes is 3/2 of an hour.

Therefore, we have them traveling at 2 mph for 3/2 hours.

distance = rate x time

2 mph * 3/2 = 3 miles.

3 * 2 = 6 miles.

time = distance/rate

Then there is 3.5 mph

3 miles/3.5 mph = 6/7 of an hour.

Adding them: 33/14 is reached (hours)

Approximately 2 hours and 21 minutes.

The distributive property combines blank and blank to make multiplying whole numbers simpler.
laila [671]
The distributive property combines multiplication with addition and multiplication with subtraction together in order to simplify the equation. It is named as such because the number outside of the open and close parenthesis are distributed to the terms inside. Say for example, the equation given is 5(2x - 3). According to the distributive property, you distribute 5 by multiplying to each of the terms inside the parentheses. The solution would be: 5*2x + 5*-3 = 10x - 15. As you can see, it involved multiplication with addition and subtraction. Generally, you just have to add all the terms while making sure you carry the sign of the integer along when you multiply them just as shown in my example.
