Question 934473: Jason is competing in a cycling contest. He starts in Cedar Creek, which is 245 miles from the finish. Jason averages 14 miles per hour.

distance he cycled in 12 hours:
s = d/t
d = st
d = 14*12
d = 168 miles
---
distance from finish, 12 hours into the race:
245 - d
245 - 168
77 miles
---
at 35 miles from the finish:
distance from start = 245 - 35 = 210 miles
how long has he been cycling:
s = d/t
t = d/s
t = 210/14
t = 15 hours
