Glenn and Steve took turns driving on a trip to Boston. Glenn drove the first 40 miles, and Steve drove the rest of the way to Boston. On the way back, Glenn started to drive, and then Steve drove the last 50 miles. Who drove more, and how much more?
Answer:
Steve drove 20 miles more than Glenn ........ It does not matter how far the trip is to Boston. Assume the distance is 60 miles each way. Glenn drives 40 miles on the way there and 10 miles on the way back for a total of 50 miles. Steve drives 20 miles on the way there and 50 miles on the way back for a total of 70 miles. The 20 mile difference does not change no matter how long the distance.
