You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In the real worlds, it would be difficult to predict.
In a math problem, you would go from New York to Washington D.C. in 4.5 hours;
you would turn around in no time at all,
and you would drive back, the same distance,
from Washington D.C. to New York to Washington D.C. in another 4.5 hours.
The total time for the round trip would be
4.5 hours + 4.5 hours = highlight%28%229.0+hours%22%29 .
