Problem of the Month

Food Bank Truck



The Larimer County Food Bank Truck delivers the weekly food to McBackpacks in Fort Collins every Tuesday.   It was agreed that the truck should arrive exactly at 1:00 PM.

If the truck traveled at 40 mph it would arrive in Fort Collins at noon, an hour early.
If the truck traveled at 20 mph it would arrive at 2:00 PM, an hour late.

How far is the Food Bank from Fort Collins and how fast should it travel in order to arrive at 1:00 PM?
