Question

Santi and Vlado drove together from New York to New Orleans. Both drove the same amount of time, but Santi drove 75% as quickly as Vlado. If the drivetook a total of 24 hours and New Orleans is 1,304 miles from New York, approximately how many miles did Santi drive?A) 326B) 560C) 744D) 978

Answer 1

Here each drove is 12 hours.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Rate }\times\text{ Time=Distance} \\ Late\text{ Vlado rate =R} \\ \text{ and Santi rate = 75R} \\ \text{ Total distance }=\text{ santi'rate }\times time\text{ driving +}Valado^{\prime}s\text{ rate}\times time\text{ driving} \end{gathered}$
