Thelma and Louise traveled by car from Wichita, KS, to St. Louis, MO, a distance of 446 miles. Thelma drove for the first part of the journey, averaging 61 miles/hour. Louise got impatient and asked to take over. She drove the remainer of the trip, averaging 72 miles/hour. The total driving time was 6 hours 30 minutes. How long was each of the drivers behind the wheel?

Answer 1 :
I'm not a whiz at math, but, if I'm computing this correctly... Thelma drove the 'first part' would mean they split the mileage of 446 for a total of 223 each, then divide the amount of mph they each drove to get your answer... ie; Thelma drove 223 miles at 61 mph - divide that for your total of how many hours Thelma drove and do the same with Louise
