Carly is training by running to a post across a field and then back. She runs the outward leg at 7m/s and the return leg at 5m/s. She takes 15.4seconds. Find the distance to the post.
----------------
d = rt
t = d/r
15.4 = d/7 + d/5
15.4 = (5d + 7d)/35
12d = 35*15.4 = 539
d = 539/12 m (almost 45 meters)
