If I was traveling to Georgia from Mississippi on a round trip. How many hours will it take and how many miles will it take?

Georgia and Mississippi aren't points. Savannah to Oxford is a lot farther than Atlanta to Columbus.

Can you narrow it down to at least cities?

And we'll need to know how fast you plan on driving.

I will be leaving Brookhaven, Mississippi to Douglasville, Georgia. I will doing the spend limit
 
Okay, that's a plausible question. And "mapquest.com" gives a very direct answer: the distance from Brookhaven, Ms to Douglasville, Ga is 412 miles and the time, at the maximum legal speed on each highway, not allowing for stops, is about 6 and a half hours.


But what does this have to do with Mathematics, much less differential equations! Are we missing something?

This is not a chat room with paid staff on stand-by, waiting to provide instant answers; it's a help forum whose volunteers surf by as they're able. If you need on-demand responses, you'll need to pull out a credit card and contract with a service that offers such. Sorry.

As you may have guessed from the responses previously received, this exercise seems to be more pre-algebra than (post-calculus) differential equations. And the question cannot be answered without further information. Please reply with the exact text of the homework exercise, along with its instructions. When you reply, please provide your topic and level of study (middle-school arithmetic? community-college pre-algebra? something else?) and a clear listing of your efforts so far.

Thank you! ;)
