Question 906472: Jane leaves her house and drives in a straight line at a speed of 25 mph. Her speed on the return trip is 35 mph. The trip back home takes 20 minutes less than the outbound trip. What was Jane's total travel time in hours? Assume both trips are in a straight line. Give your final answer as a simplified fraction. Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 25*t=35*(t+-20/60)
25*t=35*t+-700/60
25*t=35*t+-700/60
700/60=35+25*t
700/60=10*t
1.16666667=t
t=1.16666667
