Answer 2

The distance from Tom's house to the city he visited is approximately 136 miles

How to find the distance

We can set up two equations based on the given information:

time taken to go to the city

= d / 60

time taken to return:

= d / 50

total time for the round trip is 5 hours:

5 = d/60 + d/50

5 = 0.03667d

d = 136.36 miles

The question in English

Tom travels 60 miles per hour going to a neighboring city and 50 miles per hour returning using the same road. He drove a total of 5 hours for the round trip. What is the distance from Tom's house to the city he visited?
