Question 173306: A cyclist traveled at a rate of 32 mph to visit a nearby town. The cyclist averaged 10 mph on the return trip. If the round trip took 6.3 hours, find the distance to the nearby town. Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! D=RT OR T=D/R
6.3=D/32+D/10
6.3=(10D+32D)/320
42D=6.3*320
42D=2,016
D=48 MILES IS THE DISTANCE TO THE NEARBY TOWN.
PROOF:
6.3=48/32+48/10
6.3=1.5+4.8
6.3=6.3
