He had to arrive at 5:00pm
If he traveled at 15km per hour, he would arrive one hour too early
If he traveled at 10km per hour, he would arrive one hour too late.
At what time did he leave, what distance did he travel, and at what speed did he travel
:
Let d = distance traveled
:
Write an time equation; time = dist/speed
Travel time at 10 km/hr - travel time at 15 km/h = 2 hrs
- = 2
Multiply by 30
3d - 2d = 30(2)
d = 60 km is the distance
:
Find the travel time at 15 km/hr
= 4 hrs
:
let s = speed required to get there on time
:
required travel time - 15km/hr travel time = 1
- 4 = 1 hr
60 - 4s = 1s
60 = 1s + 4s
60 = 5s
s = 12 km/hr to arrive on time
:
Required travel time: = 5 hrs
He would have to leave at noon
;
Summarize, depart at noon, travel for 5 hrs at 12 km/hr, a dist of 60 km
