GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

To find the total trip time, calculate the distance of the return trip and divide it by the speed of the trip there, resulting in 5 hours.


Explanation:

To find the trip time:

  1. Calculate the distance of the return trip: Distance = Speed x Time = 50 mph x 6 hours = 300 miles
  2. Since the distance is the same for both trips (to the lake and back), divide the total distance by the speed of the trip there: Time = Distance / Speed = 300 miles / 60 mph = 5 hours

Therefore, the trip there took 5 hours.
