Formula Used :

Distance = Speed * time

given : Speed 1 = 40 mph and time = 60 mins or 1 hour

Speed 2 = 70 mph and time = 30 mins or 1/2 hour

 

So, D1 = 40 * 1

D1 = 40 miles

 

D2 = 70 * 1/2

D2 = 35 miles

 

Total distance = D1 + D2 

Total distance = (40 + 35 ) miles

Total distance = 75 miles

 

Thus, total distance covered is 75 miles
