Daniel and Morgan both live 129 miles away from the beach. It took Daniel 189 minutes less than two times the time it took Morgan to reach the beach. Morgan drove at 36 mph. How long did it take Daniel to arrive at the beach?

Respuesta :

since Morgan drove 36mph to cover 129 miles he took 129miles/36mph = 3.583 hours to reach the beach. 3.583 hours can be converted into 215 minutes. Daniel thus took : (2(215))-189 = 241 minutes to arrive.

The time it took Daniel to arrive the beach is 241 minutes

Daniel and Morgan both live 129 miles away from the beach.

Let

The time it took Morgan to reach the beach = x

Therefore,

The time it took Daniel = 2x - 189

Morgan speed = 36 mph

speed = distance / time

Time it Morgan (x) = 129 / 36 = 3.5833333 hours

Time it took Daniel  to arrive at the beach = distance / time

1 hours  = 60 minutes

3.583333 = 215 minutes

Therefore,

Time it took Daniel  to arrive at the beach = 2(215) - 189

Time it took Daniel  to arrive at the beach = 430 - 189

Time it took Daniel  to arrive at the beach = 241 minutes
