You are driving home on a weekend from school at 55 mi/h for 110 miles. it then starts to snow and you slow to 35 mi/h. you arrive home after driving 4 hours and 15 minutes. how far is your hometown from school

Okay lets get started.

I drove 110 miles with speed of 55 mi/hr so the time taken =

time = distance / speed

time = 110 / 55 = 2 hrs For the distance which is covered with 55 mi/hr speed.

Total time for reaching home is 4 hrs 15 minutes. (given in question)

Means rest distance after snow is covered in = 4 hrs 15 minutes - 2 hrs

= 2 hrs 15 minutes = 2 + 15/60 = 2.25 hrs

The speed in snow driving is 35 mi/hr

So distance covered in snow driving is = 2.25 * 35 = 78.75 miles

Hence the total distance = 110 + 78.75 = 188.75 miles : Answer

Hope that will help :)

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
