Question 1155256
.
<pre>

Let d be one way distance.


Then the time flying "to there" is  {{{d/500}}}  hours;  the time flying back is  {{{d/350}}}  hours.


The total time equation is


    {{{d/500}}} + {{{d/350}}} = 6.8 hours.


Multiply both sides by  500*350. You will get


    350*d + 500*d = = 6.8*500*350

    850d          = 119000

       d = {{{1190000/850}}} = 1400.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  One way distance is 1400 miles.

Solved.
