Question 452946: Jim rides his bike to school every morning at an average speed of 15 miles per hour. He rides home along the same route at 10 miles per hour. If the total time of his commute is 60 minutes, how far, in miles, is Jim's trip to work? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! distance to work = x miles
time to go = x/15
time returning = x/10
...
x/10 +x/15= 1
5x/30=1
5x=30
x= 6 miles
