Faster (Posted on 2004-11-29) Difficulty: 2 of 5
You traveled three hours at a certain speed. If you had taken 1 minute less to do each mile you would have gone 30 miles farther than you actually did.

How far did you go?

re: Solution by Michael Cottle

That is interesting. I had the answer in my head like that, *fingers snap*,  but made a real mess trying to write an algebraic solution and simply stopped trying after seeing Nikki and Penny had done it. Your approach is very clever. It really tickles me. Thank you Michael. Hugs. -CeeAnne-
