    speed = distance/time

    total time is 8 hours

    outgoing speed is 160 km per hour,

    so time = d/160

    returning speed is 240 km per hour,

    so time = d/240

    d/160 + d/240 = 8

    3d/480 + 2d/480 = 8

    5d/480 = 8

    5d = 480 (8)

    5d = 3840

    d=3840/5

    d=768

    answer: so the distance is 768 km

    T = 8 h

    v1 = 160 km/h

    v2 = 240 km/h

    mmc 160 e 240 = 80

    s = 80*8

    s = 640 km
