<h3>Answer: 104 miles</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

  • x = number of miles Amy drove
  • 2x = number of miles Jessica drove, since she drove twice the distance as Amy did

Combine the two expressions: x+2x = 3x

The two girls traveled a total distance of 312 miles, so 3x = 312

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x. You should get x = 104

Amy drove 104 miles and Jessica drove 2*104 = 208 miles

Check:

Amy + Jessica = 104 + 208 = 312

The answer is confirmed.

let '2a' = miles Jessica drove

a + 2a = 312

3a = 312

a = 312/3

a = 104

2a = 208

Check:  104+208 should equal 312 and it does

T1 + t2 = 2h and 30min;
t1 * 600 = t2 * 400 => t2 = (3/2) * t1;

then, t1 +  (3/2) * t1 = 2h and 30min => 2t1 + 3t1 = 5h => 5*t1 = 5h => t1 = 1h => t2 = 1h and 30 min;

The distance is 2 * 1 * 600 = 1200miles;
