A man travels 240 km partly by car at 60 km/h and partly by train at 80 km/h. If the total time taken is 3.5 hours, find the distance travelled by car.
Correct answer: 120 km
Explanation: Let car distance=x. Then train distance=240−x. Equation: x/60+(240−x)/80=3.5. Multiplying by 240 gives 4x+720−3x=840, so x=120 km.
