A -----------------------------B ----------------------------------C
In the forward journey Ron went from A to C through B as shown. Distance between A and B is “d” miles which he travelled at a constant speed of “x” miles per hour. Distance between B and C is “2d” miles which he travelled at a constant speed of “2x” miles per hour. In the backward journey Ron went from C to A through B. While travelling from C to B in the backward jouney he travelled at a constant speed of \(\frac{3x}{2}\) miles per hour. From B to A in the backward journey he travelled at 2x miles per hour. Thereby completing a round trip.
