Algebra.Com's Answer #830242 by greenestamps(13198)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "Informally.... \n" ); document.write( "The distances going and returning are the same, and the ratio of the speeds is 160:120 = 4:3; that means the ratio of the times at the two speeds is 3:4. \n" ); document.write( "Then, since the total time was 7 hours, that means he spent 3 hours at 160mph on the way there and 4 hours at 120mph on the way back. \n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: round trip distance = 160*3 + 120*4 = 480+480 = 960 miles \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
