An Introduction to Applications of Linear Equations
A bus travels two different routes: the Green Route and the Blue Route. The routes are different lengths. On Monday, the bus traveled the Green Route 6 times and the Blue Route 5 times, traveling a total of 52 miles. On Tuesday, the bus traveled the Green Route 12 times and the Blue Route 13 times, traveling a total of 119 miles. What is the length of the Green Route in miles? A) 4.4 mi B) 4.5 mi C) 6.4 mi D) 6.8 mi
