It takes 1 hour longer to fly to St.Paul at 200mi/h than it does to return at 250mi/h. How far away is St.Paul?
:
Let t = time to St Paul
then
(t-1) = return time
:
Write a distance equation Dist = speed * time
250(t-1) = 200t
250t - 250 = 200t
250t - 200t = 250
50t = 250
t =
t = 5 hrs to St.Paul
:
Find the distance: 5 * 200 = 1000 mi to St Paul
;
Check solution using return time: 4 * 250 = 1000 mi
