cole drove from home to work at an average speed of 75 kmh . he then returned home at an average speed of 105 kmh . if the round trip took a total of 4 hours , how many minutes did it take cole to drive to work ?
first round distance travelled ( say ) = d speed = 75 k / h time taken , t 2 = d / 75 hr second round distance traveled = d ( same distance ) speed = 105 k / h time taken , t 2 = d / 105 hr total time taken = 4 hrs therefore , 4 = d / 75 + d / 105 lcm of 75 and 105 = 525 4 = d / 75 + d / 105 = > 4 = 7 d / 525 + 5 d / 525 = > d = 525 / 3 km therefore , t 1 = d / 75 = > t 1 = 525 / ( 3 x 75 ) = > t 1 = ( 7 x 60 ) / 3 - - in minutes = > t 1 = 140 minutes . e
multiply(divide(multiply(105, 4), add(75, 105)), const_60)
