Question 526047: Can you please help with the following word problem? I have been at it for at least an hour and cannot resolve it.
Nolaon walked ot the store from his home at the rate of 5 mile per hour. After spending one-half hour in the store, his friend gave him a ride home at the rate of 30 mile per hour. He arrived home 1 hour and 5 minutes (1 1/12) after he left. How far is the store from Nolan's home?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
t = d / r

(d / 5) + (1/2) + (d / 30) = 13 / 12

60 is the LCD

12d + 30 + 2d = 65
