A person can walk a certain distance and drive back in six hours. He can also walk both ways in 10 hours. How much time will he take to drive both ways?
(a) Two hours
(b) Two and a half hours
(c) Five and a half hours
(d) Four hours
He can walk both ways in 10 hours....so one way would take him 5 hours to walk. Now it took him 6 hours to walk there and drive back. We already know it takes 5 hours to walk there so it must take 1 hour to drive back. 1+1=2 so the answer is 2 hours.
