The total time taken by the woman to get the document in the round trip is 1.6 hours.

The given parameters;

distance between city A and city B, = 40 miles

the average speed of the woman, v = 50 miles per hour

To find:

  • the total time taken by the woman during the journey

The total distance of the round trip is calculated as follows;

  • From A to B = 40 miles
  • From B back to A = 40 miles

Total distance of the round trip = 40 miles + 40 miles = 80 miles

The average speed of the woman is given as;

[tex]average \ speed \ = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time } \\\\total \ time = \frac{total \ distance }{average \ speed} \\\\total \ time = \frac{80 \ miles }{50 \ miles/hr} \\\\total \ time = 1.6 \ hours[/tex]

Thus, the total time taken by the woman to get the document in the round trip is 1.6 hours.
