Question

An aircraft makes a two way trip to a distance x miles away. The way there it travels at 240 m/hour, the way back 320 m/h. It was away for 35 min. What is x?

Answer 1

v=d/t
t=vd
t1=going out
t2=coming back
t1=240mph*d
t2=320mph*d
Total=35min =0.58h
0.58=240d+320d
Solve for d and that is the distance traveled.

Answer 2

what is v?

Answer 3

velocity. speed. distance traveled divided by time.

Answer 4

Thankyou!

Answer 5

yw

Answer 6

if v = d/t
then t = d/v

Answer 7

Well, hell! You're absolutely correct! You need to correct that and then it should work out. Good eye!

Answer 8

so would it be:
t1=d/240mph
t2=d/320mph
0.58=d/240+d/320
and then solve for d to get the number of hours?

Answer 9

Yes.
