Starting at home, Michael traveled uphill to the gift store for 24 minutes at just 10 mph. He then traveled back home along the same path downhill at a speed of 30 mph.
Answer:
Michael traveled the same path downhill at 8 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Michael traveled the same path to and from the gift store.
Same path = same distance
Formula:
Distance = Rate × Time
Distance traveled uphill = 24 minutes × 10 m/60 minutes
Distance = 4 m.
To solve how long Michael traveled downhill:
Distance = 4 m
Rate = 30 m/hr or 30m/60 minutes
Time = Unknown
Solution:
Distance = Rate × Time
4 m = (30 m/60 minutes) × Time
4 m = (1/2 m/minutes) × Time
(4 m) (2 minutes/m) = Time
Time = 8 minutes
Michael traveled the same path downhill at 8 minutes.
Note: Traveling uphill takes more time than traveling the same path downhill.
