Question 299160
a plane flew 500 km from atlanta to louisville. when returning to atlanta the flight took 1/2 hour less time.if the rate to Louisville was 50km/hr faster than the rate returning, find the two rates in km/hr.


This doesn't make sense!! 


How can the return trip take less time than the outgoing one when the plane is traveling at a slower rate of speed on the return trip? This is not practical!!


It has to be that for the plane to take less time on the return trip, it has to be traveling at a faster rate of speed than it did on the outgoing trip to Louisville, not a slower one.
