keisha drive from buffalo to syracuse at an average rate of 48 mph on her return trip along the same road she was able to travel at an avg rate of 60 mph the trip from buffalo to syracuse took a half an hour longer than the return trip how long did the return trip take?

Answer 1

Time to complete the first trip ---- t hrs
time to complete the return trip = (t - 1/2) hrs

distance of first trip = rate x time = 48t miles
distance of return trip = 60(t-1/2) miles

aren't the two distances the same ??
