Today's Question - "Don't hold dinner dear!" Timothy can't get his car started so he grabs a train, which takes him halfway home at a speed 20 times faster than he walks. As he gets off the train, he twists his ankle and must ride the rest of the way in a farmers cart which travels half as fast as he walks. Would he have been home sooner or later if he had walked all the way. (You don't need a calculator.)

Corner Answer - No Algebra needed. If the farmers cart took Timothy half the distance at half the speed of walking, that took as much time as walking the whole way, so the train trip was wasted.Doesn't match Missing info Like question
