Question

It took Vaughn 3 hours to drive to his sisters house. He took the same route on the way back home, but this time the trip took 2.5 hours. If Vaughn drove 10 mph faster on his return trip, how fast did he drive on his way to his sisters house?

Answer 1

The speed to his sister house is 50mph.

What is Speed?

The speed of an object is the magnitude of the rate of change of its position with time or the magnitude of the change of its position per unit of time; it is thus a scalar quantity.

Here, let the speed of his sisters house be x mph.

then, 3x = 2.5(x+10)

         3x = 2.5x + 25

        3x - 2.5x = 25

        0.5x = 25

          x = 25 / 0.5

         x = 50

Thus, The speed to his sister house is 50mph.
