Question 1126326: Caitlin drove from Greensville to Bluesburg at a speed of 50 mi/h. On the way back, she drove at 75 mi/h. The total trip took 7 1 h of driving time. Find the distance between these two cities. Answer by josgarithmetic(39616) (Show Source):
71 hours seems like too long a time. There is a space between the two digits. Not sure if this really was intended as 7 hours or 71 hours. Decide which is it, and here just a variable will be used for that total drive time, T. You will decide which to use, from there.
