Mimi has to drive 2 hours to get to work, today there was a lot of traffic which made it 4 hours. there was traffic everyday so it took 4 hours to get to work. When there wasn't any traffic she left the house at 2 AM. Since there is traffic, what time should Mimi leave her house?
she would need to leave at 12 AM
Pls hurry!
There's traffic, so it takes 4 hours, right?
Since she leaves at 2AM without traffic, but there is traffic now, she needs to leave 2 hours earlier than that, right? So when is 2 hours before 2 AM?
To determine what time Mimi should leave her house, we need to consider the additional time it takes due to traffic.
Mimi's usual travel time to work is 2 hours, but when there is traffic, it takes her 4 hours in total. This means that the traffic adds an extra 2 hours to her commute time.
On days when there is no traffic, Mimi leaves her house at 2 AM. Since she wants to arrive at work at the same time as usual, which is presumably the start of her work shift, we will assume that this time is 8 AM.
With this information, we can calculate the time Mimi should leave her house:
Normal travel time (without traffic): 2 hours
Difference in travel time due to traffic: 4 hours - 2 hours = 2 hours
To determine the new departure time, we subtract the additional travel time from the usual departure time:
8 AM - 2 hours = 6 AM
Therefore, to account for the traffic, Mimi should leave her house at 6 AM.
