In the morning , maria drove to a business appointment at 40 mph. Her average speed on the return trip in the afternoon was 30 mph. The return trip took 1/3 hr longer because of heavey traffic. How far did she travel to the appointment?

Answer provided by our tutors

D = SXT

40*t = 30*(t + 1/3)

40t = 30t  + 10

t = 1

 

so D = S X t = 40*1 = 40 miles
