Mia drove her car at a rate of 60 mph from her home to los angeles. her mother, katrina, made the same trip at a rate of 80 mph, and took her 1/2 hours less than it took mia to make the trip. how far is mia's home from los angeles?

So if Katrina did 80mph and

Mia did 60mph

Lets say the destination is 90 miles away that would take 1hr 30minsfor Mia and

1hr 10mins for Katrina. so that's only a gap of 20minutes not half an hour.

So if the destination was 120miles away it would take Mia 2 hours and Katrina 1hour 30mins that is a gap of 30mins.

ANSWER: 120miles

step-by-step explanation:

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
