The distance between these two cities is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The speed of Mary drove from Amity to Belleville is
Formula used: Distance Formula
Calculation:
Let, t is equal to time to drive from Amity to Belleville and the total time is
From the above statement make a table,
speed | time | distance | |
Amity to Belleville | 50 | t | 50t |
Belleville to Amity | 60 |
|
|
Model an equation from the information in the above table.
Solve above equation to get the value of t,
Distance between two cities is,
