A family leaves home at 1 p.m in their vehicle. While Billy asks, "Are we there yet?" at 2:30 p.m., they are 70 miles from Grandma's house. When Janie asks "Are we there yet?" at 2:45 p.m., they are 55 miles away. How far from Grandma's house does the family live? At what time will the family arrive at Grandma's?

Respuesta :

at 2:30, they are 70 miles away, at 2:45, they are 55 miles away.
That means, in 15 minutes, they traveled 15 miles....thats 1 mile per minute.
so 2:45....55 miles away...at 1 mile per minute = 2:45 + 55 minutes = 
3:40. <== when they arrive at Grandma's house.

3:40 - 1:00 = 2:40.....it took 2 hrs and 40 minutes for the trip....thats 120 + 40 = 160 minutes <== =so the family lives 160 miles from Grandma's house
