100 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

To work :

speed = 50mph

Let time taken = x

From work :

speed = 40mph

30 minutes = 30/60 = 0.5

Time taken = x + 0.5

Distance from home to work :

Distance = speed * time

To work distance = from work distance

This can be algebraically expressed as :

50 * x = 40(x + 0.5)

50x = 40x + 20

50x - 40x = 20

10x = 20

x = 20/10

x = 2

Hence,

Distance = 50 * 2 = 100

The the distance from home to work = 100 miles

Speed=Distance/time

Here,

distance=15m

time=1sec

speed=15/1=15m/sec

Distance=Speed*time

time=15min=15*60sec=900sec

Distance travelled in 15 min=15*900=13,500m

=13500/1000 km=13.5Km

Let the father's age be x and son's be y

10 years before-

Father age=x-10

sons age=y-10

Given,

x-10=10(y-10)

x-10=10y-100

Given present age of father=40

therefore,

x=40

40-10=10y-100

10y-100=30

10y=130

y=130/10

y=13

Therefore present age of son=13years
