Answer:

  • 12.16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed - s,   Distance - d,  Time - t

Equation of time is:

  • t = d/s

Given,

  • s1 = 32 m/h, s2 = 38 m/h, t1 + t2 = 42 min = 42/60 h = 7/10 h

Total time is the sum of time values to and from the town:

  • d/32 + d/38 = 7/10
  • d/16 + d/19 = 7/5
  • d(1/16 + 1/19) = 7/5
  • d(16 + 19) = 7(16*19)/5
  • 35d = 425.6
  • d = 425.6/35
  • d = 12.16

It is given that,

→ s1= 32 miles/h

→ s2 = 38 miles/h

Now t1 + t2 is,

→ 42 min

→ 42/60 hours

→ 7/10 hours

The formula we use,

→ Time = Distance/Speed

→ t = d/s

Then the total time is the,

Sum of time values to and from the town.

→ d/32 + d/38 = 7/10

→ d/16 + d/19 = 7/5

→ d{(1/16) + (1/19)} = 7/5

→ d(16 + 19) = (7/5) × (16 × 19)

→ 35d = 425.6

→ d = 425.6/35

→ d = 12.16

Hence, the distance is 12.16 miles.
