Ms. Willis drives to a conference in 5 hours.Due to bad weather on the return in trip home, she drives the same route in 8 hours at an average speed that is 24 miles per hour slower than her trip to the conference

Answer:

Distance = 192 km

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the distance, the distance is given by the formula:

s = vt

where s = distance

          v = average speed

          t = time taken to travel

therefore, the distance is given as

s = 24miles/hour× 8 hours

  = 192 miles.

The total distance is 192 miles.

To calculate the average speed on the first trip to the conference, divide the distance by the time like this:

s = vt

v = s/t

  = 192 miles/ 5 hours

  = 38.4 miles per hour

As you can see, the driver drove faster than she did when she was driving in bad weather.
