i think its 6m

anonymous · Answer

I have the answer as being 12 miles but don't know how to figure it out

anonymous · Answer

both the distances are the same so by taking the distance x, total time is given by x/10+x/6 = 1.6 hours thats how i did it

anonymous · Answer

Rt=d so how would I set this up?

anonymous · Answer

Time=dist/speed

anonymous · Answer

Time there+time back=1.6

anonymous · Answer

I set it up as 96=d/16
Then divided 96 by 16 and got 6 then multiplied by 2 since 6 would have been half

anonymous · Answer

d/10+d/6=1.6
