A cargo plane flew to the maintenance facility and back. It took one hour less time to get there than it did to get back. The average speed on the trip there was 220 mph. The average speed on the way back was 200 mph. How many hours did the trip there take?

The trip took
hours.

The distance of an object can be defined as the complete path travelled by an object .Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.

Given:

Let t = time for the 220 mph portion:

Then

(t+1) = time for the 200 mph portion

;

The distance to and the distance from are equal, so write a distance equation;

Distance = speed * time

distance there = distance back

220t = 200(t+1)

220t = 200t + 200

220t - 200t = 200

20t = 200

t = 200/20

t = 10 hrs.' to get there

Then

10 + 1 = 11 hrs back

:

Total hrs: 10 + 11 = 21 hrs for the round trip.

Therefore, the trip there take is 10 hours.
