A minivan traveling at 50 mph and a motorcycle traveling at 60 mph cover the same distance. It takes the
minivan 1 hour longer to make the trip. How many hours did it take for the motorcycle to make the trip?

Respuesta :

It take 5 hours for the motorcycle to make the trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of minivan = 50 mph

Speed of motorcycle = 60 mph

Let,

time taken by motorcycle = x

time taken by minivan = x+1

We know that,

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance of minivan = 50*(x+1) = 50x+50

Distance of motorcycle = 60*x = 60x

As the distance is same, the two Eqn will be equal.

[tex]60x=50x+50\\60x-50x=50\\ 10x=50[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 10;

[tex]\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{50}{10}\\x=5\\[/tex]

Time taken by motorcycle = 5 hours

It take 5 hours for the motorcycle to make the trip.
