Hi

Your question about Bob's journey hasn't got an 'Answer' button in my browser!

The answer you require is 45 miles. (The journey times are 45 minutes and 36 minute respectively).

I also noticed that there wasn't a "post an answer" button and was gonna make a separate post with the answer - but you beat me to it lol >.<

Anyway - if u need a proof Pixelchic (is it homework or something ??), then here it is:

Distance = velocity x time

So, in first case D = 60 x T

In second case, the distance is the same, the velocity is now 75 mph and the time is 9 minutes (3/20 hour) less.

i.e. D = 75 x (T - 3/20)
D = 75T - 11 1/4

Therefore 60T = 75T - 11 1/4

T = 3/4 hour (time taken for first journey) and D = 45 miles, as Buenchico correctly pointed out.
