Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

The total distance is s = 100 mi

Half the distance ( s1 ) to the house has been traveled by the speed v1 = 32 mph

Rest half the distance ( s2 ) to the house has been traveled by the speed v2 = 68 mph

Consider the time taken for the first half is t1 and for the second half is t2 .
