 How many miles did I drive?

\(s=40mph\cdot t=55mph\cdot (t-\frac{25}{60}h)\\ 40mph\cdot t=55mph\cdot t-55mph\cdot \frac{25}{60}h\\ (55-40)mph\cdot t=55mph\cdot \frac{25}{60}h\\ t=\dfrac{55\cdot \frac{25}{60}h}{15}\\ t=1.52\overline 7h\)

How many miles did I drive?

Ich fuhr mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 40 Meilen pro Stunde zum Strand. Wenn ich stattdessen mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 55 Meilen pro Stunde gefahren wäre, wäre ich 25 Minuten früher angekommen. Wie viele Meilen bin ich gefahren?

\(40\ mph\cdot t=55\ mph(t-25\ min)\\ 40t=55t-1375\ min\\ 15t=1375\ min\\ t=91\frac{2}{3}\ min\)

\(s=v\cdot t=40\ mph\cdot 91\frac{2}{3}\ min\cdot \frac{h}{60\ min}\\ \color{blue}s=61.111\ miles\)
