For one reason or another, I'm having a really hard time understanding what "ratio of distance driven from home to work time to drive from home to work" means. I'm guessing this: It takes Sue t minutes to drive 10 km from home to work, so for Bill this is d/3t? Set 10/t=d/3t? Can't be that easy, is it? The word "time" after "home to work" is really throwing me off?On a certain day it took Bill three times as long to drive from home to work as it took Sue to drive from home to work. How many kilometers did Bill drive from home to work?
(1) Sue drove 10 kilometers from home to work, and the ratio of distance driven from home to work time to drive from home to work was the same for Bill and Sue that day.
(2) The ratio of distance driven from home to work time to drive from home to work for Sue that day was 64 kilometers per hour.
