Question 971276
A person leaves home at 7:00 a.m. and drives to a destination at a rate of forty mph. After spending one hour at the destination, the person returns at a rate of twenty-five mph and arrives home at 2:30 p.m. How far is the trip to the destination?
---------------
Avg RT speed = 2*40*25/(40+25) = 400/13 mi/hr
6.5 hours driving
d = r*t = (400/13)*(13/2) = 200 miles RT
100 miles each way
