document.write( "<A HREF=/cgi-bin/jump-to-question.mpl?question=45170>Question 45170</A>: <I><SPAN STYLE=\"word-break: break-all;\"> Hi, I have a problem that reads: \"The balloon traveled 48 miles in 4 hours.  It's speed was then increased by 8 mph.  If the total they traveled was 108 miles, how much time did it need for the entire trip?\"    This is what I did: I subtracted 48 miles from the total 108 miles it traveled and got 60.  Then I divided 48 miles by 4 hours and got 12 mph.  Then I added 8 mph increase to the 12 mph and got 20 mph, which I used to divide the 60 miles by, and got 30 hours.  Is that right? (the answer is a total of 34 hours?)  Also, if this is for Algebra, can I just show my work as simple subtraction, addition, and dividing or do I have to write some equation?  It doesn't say to do that..  Thank  you! </SPAN>\n" );
