\r\n" );
document.write( "Notice that 44 mph is twice as fast as 22 mph.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means, and you can get it intuitively, that one third of the total travel time,\r\n" );
document.write( "which is 1 hour and 30 minutes, is spend with the rate of 44 mph.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Again, the travel time with the rate of 44 mph was 30 minutes, or half an hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It implies that one way distance to the school is 22 miles.    ANSWER\r\n" );
