Leon drove 270 miles to the lodge in the same time as Pat drove 330 miles to the lodge. If Pat drove 10 miles per hour faster than Leon, then how fast did each of them drive?

T = 270/V = 330/(T + 10)

Solve for V

To find the speeds at which Leon and Pat drove, we can set up an equation based on their distances and times. Let's denote Leon's speed as "x" miles per hour. Since Pat drove 10 miles per hour faster than Leon, Pat's speed can be represented as "x + 10" miles per hour.

We are given that Leon drove 270 miles and Pat drove 330 miles. We also know that the time taken by both of them is the same. Let's denote the time as "t" hours.

Using the formula speed = distance / time, we can write the following equations:

Leon's speed: x = 270 / t
Pat's speed: x + 10 = 330 / t

Since both Leon and Pat drove to the same place in the same amount of time, we can equate their speeds:

270 / t = 330 / t

Cross-multiplying, we get:

270 * t = 330 * t

Simplifying, we have:

270t = 330t

Dividing both sides by t, we get:

270 = 330

This is not a valid equation, and it means there is no solution. However, in the given information, it is stated that Pat's speed was 10 miles per hour faster than Leon's. Therefore, it seems that there may be an error or inconsistency in the problem statement.
