410) The average speed on a round-trip commute having a one-way distance d is given by the complex rational
expression
2d
,
d d
+
r1 r2

in which r1 and r2 are the speeds on the outgoing and return trips, respectively. Fred and Michael both drove to
campus averaging 35 miles per hour and each returned home on the same route he used going and averaged 45
miles per hour. Fred's one-way route was 8 miles longer than Michael's. Simplify the complex rational expression
and answer the question: How does Fred's overall average speed compare with Michael's?
A) Fred's average speed is higher than Michael's.
B) Fred's average speed is the same as Michael's.
C) Not enough information is given to answer the question.
D) Fred's average speed is lower than Michael's.
