It takes 1 hour longer to fly to St. Paul at 200 mi/h than it does to return at 250 mi/h.
\n" ); document.write( " How far away is St. Paul?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the time first:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time required to fly to St.P
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(t-1) = time to return
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The distance to and from are equal; write a distance equation: Dist = speed*time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "To dist = return dist
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "200t = 250(t-1)
\n" ); document.write( "200t = 250t - 250
\n" ); document.write( "+250 = 250t - 200t
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"250%2F50\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = 5 hrs to make the trip
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "5 - 1 = 4 hrs to make the return trip
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Find the dist:
\n" ); document.write( "200 * 5 = 1000 mi
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "250 * 4 = 1000 mis \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
