Question

The cruz family drive their car 5 and 5/6 days to reach their vacation home and then drive 6 and 1/6 days to return home how much longer did it take them to drive home

Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

The reaching time = 5% days

The returning time = 6% days

To find,

The longer time that is needed for the returning trip.

Solution,

We can easily solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical formula. (Only normal arithmetic method is necessary.)

First of all, we need to simplify the values

Reaching time = 5% days = 35/6 days

Returning time = 6% days = 37/6 days

Time difference = Returning time - Reaching time

= 37/6-35/6

= (37-35)/6

= 2/6

= 1/3 day

Hence,1/3 day longer time was taken during the return trip.
