Problema Solution

Granny heads out to a casino 600 miles away traveling 100 mph. If you leave just as granny pulls out of the driveway but only travel at 60 mph, how long has she been at the casino before you?

Answer provided by our tutors

since speed = distance/time => time = distance/speed


granny will reach the casino is 600/100 = 6 hours


you will reach the casino in 600/60 = 10 hours


thus she was 10 - 6 = 4 hours in the casino before you.
