Question 910797
Steve rides 5 hours total on a bicycle trip into the country and back. He rode out at the rate of 17 mph and returned at the rate of 23 mph. How far into the country did Steve ride (round to the nearest hundredth)?
=================
Avg speed for the RT = 2*17*23/(17+23) = 19.55 mi/hr
d = r*t = 19.55*5 = 97.75 miles
=~ 48.88 miles each way
