Problema Solution

A man drives to a destination at a rate of 60 mph. He drive back over the same route at a rate of 40mph due to traffic. If the round trip takes two hours, how far is the destination ?

Answer provided by our tutors

let the destination is x mile away

time in journey = x/60

time i return journey = x/40

total time = x/60 + x/40

x/60 + x/40 = 2

=> x(100) = 2*40*60

=> x = 48 miles
