Time taken in hours from home to college is; 5 hours 20 minutes

How to calculate time from speed?

We are given;

Going home DATA:

Speed rate = 61.5 mph

Distance = x miles

Time taken = distance/speed = x/61.5 hrs

Going to college DATA:

Speed rate = 65.2 mph

Distance = x miles

Time taken = x/65.2 hrs

Thus, the equation set up is:

x/61.5 + x/65.2 = 11

Multiply through by (61.5 * 65.2) to get;

65.2x + 61.5x = 11 * (61.5 * 65.2)

126.7x = 44107.8

x = 44107.8/126.7

x = 348.1279 miles

Thus;

Time in hours from home to college = 348.1279/65.2

Time in hours from home to college = 5.34 hours = 5 hours 20 minutes
