You are driving home from school steadily at 65mph for 130 miles. it then begins to rain, and you slow down to 55mph. you arrive home after driving 3 hours and 22 minutes. how far is your hometown from school?
i'm not looking for an answer, just some guidance. like what formula(s) to use.

$204.8\ miles$

Explanation:

Remember that:

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

Where "V" is the speed, "d" is the distance and "t" is the time.

You are are driving home from school steadily at 65 miles per hour for 130 miles, then we can find the driving time at 65 miles per hour:

$V_1=\frac{d_1}{t_1}\\\\65\ \frac{mi}{h}=\frac{130\ mi}{t}\\\\t_1=\frac{130\ mi}{65\ \frac{mi}{h}}\\\\t_1=2\ h$

You slow down to 55 miles per hour and you arrive home after driving 3 hours and 22 minutes, then we need to find the driving time at 55 miles per hour. But first you need to convert 22 minutes to hours:

$(22\ min)(\frac{1\ h}{60\ min})=0.36\ h$

Since the total time is:

$t_{total}=t_1+t_2$

We can calculate t_2 :

$t_2=t_{total}-t_1\\\\t_2=(3\ h+0.36\ h)-2\ h\\\\t_2=1.36\ h$

In order to calculate the distance from that point (where you slow down to 55 iles per hour) to your home, we need to solve for d_2 from the following formula and substitute values:

$V_2=\frac{d_2}{t_2}\\\\V_2*t_2=d_2\\\\d_2=(55\ \frac{mi}{h})(1.36\ h)\\\\d_2=74.8\ mi$

Therefore, the distance between your hometown and your school is:

$d_{total}=d_1+d_2\\\\d_{total}=130\ mi+74.8\ mi\\\\d_{total}=204.8\ mi$

Answer from: Quest

Acetic acid /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named ethanoic acid /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. it is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7 3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366 chemblchembl539 chemspider171 drugbankdb03166 echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260 (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010 meshacetic+acidpubchem cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4) key: qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n smilescc(o)=o
