let x = miles
we have x miles/ 60mph plus x miles / 40 mph = 1 hour
x/60 + x/40 = 1
we need to calculate 2x for the round trip
calculate common denominator and rewrite the 2 fractions:
2x/120 + 3x/120 = 1
5x= 120
x = 120/5 = 24 miles
24*2 = 48 miles total
check:
1 way would be 48/2 = 24 miles
24/60 = 0.4 hours to drive 24 miles at 60 mph
24/40 = 0.6 hours to drive 24 miles at 40 mph
0.6 +0.4 = 1 hour
