Thread: 5th grade math homework...can you do it?

    A motorcycle race is 70 miles out and 70 miles back.
    Harry on his new Harley averages 80 mph going out but only 60 mph on the way back.
    Eric on his Honda can only go 70 mph out, but keeps it up for the entire trip.
    Who wins the race?
    Assume they started at the same time. How long did each rider take?
    My son and I have our answers but wonder if we are right.......... :hammerhea

    We don't think a tie is the right answer, come on, do the math.....
    There is like a two minute difference....

    Well we all know the real truth... The harley would break down before it ever made it to the turn around point....

    Alright, at least someone can use a calculator ! But we got Eric at 120 minutes and Harry at 122 minutes and 36 seconds...did you round off?
