gams, a rancher , drove 40 kph. on a gravelroad ti the highway on which she travel at 60 kph. until she reached a city 110 km. from home. if the trip took 2 hours haw far was the ranch from the highway?

Answer provided by our tutors

40 kph - gravel road

60 - highway

distance = 110 km

time = d/rate

 

(110-x)/40 + (x)/60 = 2 hours

110/40 -(x/40) + x/60 = 2

solve for x

x = 90

 

she traveled 20 km on the gravel road and 90 km on the highway
