Jack rode his bike to school at 12 mph and then jogged back at 6 mph. If the round-trip took him six hours, how far was it to school?

Answer: 24 miles

Step-by-step explanation: 12 mph is two times as fast as 6 mph so 6 hours round trip is 2 hours for bike and 4 hours for jogging. You can either plug 2 for 12 (bike) or 4 for 6 (jog) either way you get 24
