Hugo backpacks 50 lbs of supplies to the AMC hut near the summit of Mt. Washington every day, up under the sun, up through the rain. On the average day he climbs at the rate of 1.5 miles per hour, but descends at 4.5 miles an hour, making the whole trip in 6 hours. What is the distance from the base camp to the hut?
