it took addison's family 2 5/12 hours to drive to chicago their drive home took 1 4/5 hours longer because of traffic. write and solve an equation to show how long it took addison's family to drive home

Respuesta :

Answer:  Time taken to drive home =  [tex]4\frac{13}{60} hours[/tex]

Explanation :

We have given that,

Time taken to drive to Chicago = [tex]2\frac{5}{12}hours[/tex]

More time taken to drive to home back =[tex]1\frac{4}{5} hours[/tex]

Total time taken to drive to home back =  [tex]2\frac{5}{12}+ 1\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

                                                                 =  [tex]\frac{29}{12}+\frac{9}{5}[/tex]

                                                                 = [tex]\frac{145+108}{60}[/tex]

                                                                 = [tex]\frac{253}{60} hours[/tex]

                                                                 = [tex]4\frac{13}{60} hours[/tex]

∴ Time taken to drive home back =  [tex]4\frac{13}{60} hours[/tex]
