Answer 1

Using the relation between velocity, distance and time, it is found that he traveled 281.25 km by bus and 1618.75 km by plane.

What is the relation between velocity, distance and time?

Velocity is distance divided by time, that is:

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

In this problem, first he traveled a distance of d km by bus, with an average speed of 60 km/h and a time of t, hence:

$60 = \frac{d}{t}$

$d = 60t$

Then, by plane, he traveled a distance of 1900 - d km, with an average speed of 700 km/h and a time of 7 - t, hence:

$700 = \frac{1900 - d}{7 - t}$

Since d = 60t, we have that:

$700 = \frac{1900 - 60t}{7 - t}$

$1900 - 60t = 4900 - 700t$

$640t = 3000$

$t = \frac{3000}{640}$

$t = 4.6875$

Hence:

d = 60t = 60 x 4.6875 = 281.25 km

1900 - d = 1900 - 281.25 = 1618.75 km

He traveled 281.25 km by bus and 1618.75 km by plane.
