george drove to two town at 60 miles per hour and drove back home at 30 miles per hour. what is the distance to town if the whole trip took 9 hours hrs

just did that above

To solve this problem, we can use the formula: Distance = Speed × Time.

Let's denote the distance to the town as "d."

The time taken to drive to the first town at 60 miles per hour is given by: Time1 = d / 60.

Similarly, the time taken to drive back home at 30 miles per hour is given by: Time2 = d / 30.

According to the problem, the total trip took 9 hours. Therefore, we can set up the equation:

Time1 + Time2 = 9
d / 60 + d / 30 = 9

To solve for 'd', we need to find a common denominator and combine the fractions:

(2d + d) / 60 = 9
3d / 60 = 9

Now, we can simplify the equation:

3d = 540

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3:

d = 180

Thus, the distance to the town is 180 miles.
