A helicopter used in fighting a forest fire travels at 175km/h from the fire to a pond and 115 km/h with water fromt he pond to the fire. If a round trip takes 30 minutes, how long does it take fromthe pond to the fire?
I have established that Trip A (to the pond) + Trip B (to the fire) = 30 min
I just don't know where to go from here to set up an expression as I keep comming back to needing the distance and I know thats probably not right.
