it takes joey the postman 1 hours to run a 6 mile long route every day . he delivers packages and then returns to the post office along the same path . if the average speed of the round trip is 8 mile / hour , what is the speed with which joey returns ?
"let his speed for one half of the journey be 6 miles an hour let the other half be x miles an hour now , avg speed = 8 mile an hour 2 * 6 * x / 6 + x = 8 12 x = 8 x + 48 = > x = 12 b"
divide(6, subtract(divide(multiply(const_2, 6), 8), 1))
