Felicia left home at 8 a. m. driving her ferrari at 80 mph from rome to sorrento. after spending 5 hrs in town, she drove back at 60mph, arriving in rome at 8 p. m. how far is it from rome to sorrento

distance between Rome to Sorrento is 240 miles

Explanation:

given data

speed = 80 mph

time = 5 hours

reduce speed = 60 mph

to find out

distance between Rome to Sorrento

solution

let us consider time from Rome to Sorrento is x

we know 8 am to 8 pm total 12 hours and 5 hours in town spend so 12 -5 = 7

so we say that time back is 7 -x

we know distance was same

so distance is speed × time

compare both side distance

80 x  = 60 (7-x)

80 x = 420 - 60 x

x = 3

so distance is = 80 (3)  = 240 miles

distance between Rome to Sorrento is 240 miles
