\n" ); document.write( "The distances going and returning are the same; and the return trip is at a speed twice the speed of the trip to school.

\n" ); document.write( "That means the amount of time for the return trip is half the time for the trip there.

\n" ); document.write( "Then, since the total time was 1 hour 30 minutes, he spent 1 hour at 22mph going and a half hour at 44mph returning.

\n" ); document.write( "Use either time and speed (rate) to find that the distance (rate times time) is 22 miles.
