Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d = r*t is the basic distance equation
d = distance
r = rate
t = time
.
d going there = d coming back
.
t = time coming back
t-1 = time going there
.
220(t-1) = 200*t
.
220t -220 = 200t
.
20t = 220
.
t = 11 hr
.
Check the distances to be sure this is the answer.
220(11-1) = 220*10 = 2200
200(11) = 2200
Correct.
.
Done.
