Pang drove to his mother's house to drop off her new TV.
He drove at 50 miles per hour there and back, and spent 10 minutes dropping off the TV
The entire journey took him 94 minutes. How far away does his mother live?

Answer:

70 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting ten minutes from the elapsed time 94 minutes tells us that the travel (at constant average speed) took 84 minutes.  We convert 84 minutes to 84/60 hour.

 

distance = rate•time = 50 mi/hr (84/60 hour) = 50(1.4) = 70 miles
