You ride your bike to campus a distance of 7 miles and return home on the same route. Going to campus, you ride mostly downhill and average 5 miles per hour faster than on your return trip home. If the round trip takes two hours and 6 minutes—that is, 21/10 hours--what is your average velocity on the return trip? Use the formula Time traveled=Distance traveledAverage

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown a distance 5190 kmkm away, and released. It found its way back to its nest 13.5 daysdays after release.
