On the trip there she traveled 80 km/h and on the return trip she went 60 km/h.
How long did the trip take if the return trip took four hours?
:
Find the distance one way using the return trip time & speed
d = 4(60)
d = 240 mi one way
:
Find the time for outbound trip, the same distance at 80 km/hr
240%2F80 = 3 hrs
