Wendy took a trip from one city to another, a distance of 420 mi. She traveled part of the way by bus,
which arrived at the train station just in time for Wendy to complete her journey by train.
The bus averaged 50 mi/h, and the train averaged 15 mi/h. The entire trip took
4.5h. How long did Wendy spend on the train

This problem has no solution in positive numbers,
which means that it is posed INCORRECTLY.
(notice: 50 miles in hour times 4.5 hours is LESS than 420).
