Answer:

$600t=480(18-t)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed on going = 600 miles per hour

Let t be the time om going

So, Distance = $Speed \times time$

Distance = $600t$

Speed on return = 480 miles per hour

The round trip took 18 hours.

So, Time on returning = 18-t

Distance = $Speed \times time$

Distance = $480(18-t)$

Distance will remain same on going and returning

So, $600t=480(18-t)$

Hence equation can be used to determine the time for each leg is $600t=480(18-t)$
