\n" ); document.write( "

Let distance, one-way, be D
\n" );
document.write( "Then time taken to travel on 1^st trip: 
\n" );
document.write( "Time taken to travel on 2^nd trip: 
\n" );
document.write( "Since round-trip took 4 hours, then we can say that:
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " -------- Multiplying by LCD, 360
\n" );
document.write( "17D = 1,440
\n" );
document.write( "D, or distance = , or  miles \n" );
