<PRE><B>Question 449653</B>
the park at 6 miles per hour.
 Then she raced back at 10 miles per hour.
 If the total trip took 4 4/5 hrs, how far was it to the park? 
:
Let d = dist to the park
:
Change 4{{{4/5}}} to 4.8 hrs
:
Write a time equation: time = dist/speed
:
To time + return time = 4.8 hr
:
{{{d/6}}} + {{{d/10}}} = 4.8
multiply by 30, results
5d + 3d = 30(4.8)
8d = 144
d = {{{144/8}}}
d = 18 mi to the park
:
:
See if the times add up:
18/6 + 18/10 = 
3 + 1.8 = 4.8 hrs</PRE>
