Hi The average speed of the plane driver's flight to the site was 160 mph, and the average speed of the return trip was 120 mph Find the distance of the round trip if the total flying time was 7 hr D =rt ***Distance is the same to and from: Let t be time at 120mph then (7-t) would be time at 160mph 160(7-t) = 120t 40t = 160 t = 4hr, time at 120mph Distance = 4h * 120mph = 480mi Wish You the Best in your Studies.
