You can put this solution on YOUR website! A pilot flew from one office to another. The average speed going is 320mph and returning is 480mph, find the Round Trip distance, if total flying time was 5 hours.
-----------------
Avg speed of the round trip is 2*320*480/(320 + 480)
= 307200/800
= 384 mi/hr
---------------
RT distance = 384 mi/hr * 5 hr = 1920 miles
