Ashton drove a car, flew in an airplane, and was a passenger on a train to travel
from his home in Missouri to his destination in New York. The total distance of the
trip was 1,022 miles.
He traveled 874 miles in the airplane at an average speed that was 500 mph
faster than the average speed of the car he drove. The train ride was 24 miles
and traveled at an average speed 10 mph faster than he drove.
Let r represent the average speed of the car and let h represent the amount of
time he spent traveling.
distance
1. Use the formula time =
to write an equation for the total time of his
rate
trip. Express the time as a single fraction.
2. If he drove at an average rate of 62 mph, how long did the trip take?
3. On his return trip, he took a smaller airplane and his average speed was only
530 mph. Assuming that all of the differences in rates stayed the same, how long
was his return trip?
4. Ashton is reimbursed from his company $25 dollars per hour for his travel time.
How much will he receive after the round trip?
