Question 901133: Romeo went to visit in a town called Verona. He rode his horse toward Juliet's place at the rate of 5 miles per hour. After visiting Juliet, he rode back home at the rate of 4 miles per hour, tired but blissfully happy. If the total time of Romeo's travel is 3 hours and 20 minutes, how many miles in total (back and forth) had Romeo traveled? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+y=3 20/60,
5x=4y,
d=5x+4y
d = 400/27=14.815 miles, x = 40/27, y = 50/27
I can easily walk 4 mph.
