Problema Solution
a private plane traveled from Seattle to a rugged wilderness, at an average speed of 330mph. on the return trip, the average speed was 396 mph. if the total traveling time was 7 hours, how far is Seattle from the wilderness ?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the distance, then '2x' represents the distance of total traveling time
the ratio of distance to time is equated:
(2x)/7=(330+396)/2

----------------------
x=1270.5
Seattle is approximately 1,270 miles from the wilderness.
