the distance that the person drove is ____ miles

Question

a person drove at a speed of 49 miles per hour on a back road during a recent trip. they can drive the same distance at 98 mph on the interstate in one hour less. what is the distance they drove on the back​ road?

Answer 1

D = r t

49* t

= 98*(t-1)

49 t = 98t - 98

0 = 49t - 98

98 = 49 t

t = 2

98 miles....

backroad: 49 mph * 2 hours = 98 miles

interstate: 98 mph * 1 hour = 98 miles

98 miles

and a speeding ticket
