On a particularly busy workday, I might need to drive back and forth between ASUN’s Newport and Jonesboro campuses, which are 38 miles apart. It takes me 48 min to make the drive from the Newport campus to the Jonesboro campus. On the return trip from Jonesboro to Newport, I decide to speed by maintaining an average speed that is 10 mi/hr faster than my average speed going from Newport to Jonesboro
