Problem 6
On a trip to the beach, Anh traveled 50 miles on the highway and 10 miles on a coastal access road. He drove three times as fast on the highway as on the coastal road. If Anh spent 30 minutes driving on the coastal road, how many minutes did his entire trip take?
Solution
Since Anh spends half an hour to drive 10 miles on the coastal road, her speed is 
mph. Her speed on the highway then is 
mph. She drives 
miles, so she also drives minutes. The total amount of minutes spent on her trip is
