On a vacation, Johnny averaged 50 mph traveling from Denver to Minneapolis. Returning by a different route that covered the same number of miles, he averaged 55 mph. What is the distance between the two cities if his total traveling time was 32 hr?
 
going:
rate: 50
time: t
distance: 50t

coming:
rate: 55
time: 32 - t
distance: ???

Complete the table. Set the equal distances equal. Solve.
