Pasos de solución

Given Speed:

trip 1 : 30

trip 2 : 40

Given Distance:

trip 1 : 37.5

trip 2 : 10

Represent the time in terms of

x :

trip 1 : x

trip 1 Speed 30 Time x Distance 37.5

Write an equation for trip 1Distance = Speed

\cdot

Time

37.5 = 30 x

Resolver para

x, 37.5 = 30 \cdot x : x = 1.25

time : 1.25

Represent the time in terms of

y :

trip 2 : y

trip 2 Speed 40 Time y Distance 10

Write an equation for trip 2Distance = Speed

\cdot

Time

10 = 40 y

Resolver para

y, 10 = 40 \cdot y : y = \frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{4} = 0.25

trip 1 time : 1.25

trip 2 time : 0.25
