Driving from Tulsa to Detroit, Takimi average 50mph, he figured thatnif he had average 60mph his driving hours would have decreased 3 hrs. How far is it from Tulsa to Detroit?

Answer 1

distance = rate*times

d=50*t

also

d=60*(t-3)

set both equation equal to each other:

50*t=60(t-3)

solve for t

t= 18 hours

so plug t into either equation to get distance

50*18 = 900miles
