s = d / t
t = d / s
---
out:
t = d / s
x = 100 / 50 = 2 hours
---
return:
t = d / s
y = 100/s
---
round trip time:
3 + 40/60 = 3.666666 hours
3 + 2/3
9/3 + 2/3
11/3 = 3.666666 hours
---
x + y = 11/3
2 + 100/s = 11/3
100/s = 11/3 - 2
100/s = 11/3 - 6/3
100/s = 5/3
s = 100(3/5)
---
answer:
s = 60 mph
