MP   (11 years ago)

one way distance = 30*50/60 = 25 miles

if for x mins, regular power was used , then

x*40/60 + (45-x)*30/60= 25
x*2/3 +(45-x)/2=25
x= 25*6-45*3=15 mins

Distance driven using regular power= 15*40/60= 10 miles

ANS: 15miles

Speed of vehicle under solar(in miles/min)= 30/60= 0.5 miles/minute.
Speed of vehicle under regular(in miles/min)= 40/60= 2/3 miles/minute.
Total dist traveled by solar = 50*0.5 = 25 miles.
let dist traveled under solar be 'd'; under regular will be (45-d).
Now , 0.5*d + (2/3)*(45-d)=25
0.5d + 30 - (2/3)d=25
(3d+180-4d)/6=25
180-d=150 => d=30. (under solar 30 miles)
dist traveled under reg. speed will be (45-d) = 45-30
=15 miles.
