You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Distance(d) equals Rate(r) times Time(t) or d=rt; t=d/r and r=d/t
\n" ); document.write( "Distance travelled in the first 30 min:
\n" ); document.write( "d=60*(1/2)=30 km
\n" ); document.write( "Distance remaining=80-30=50 km\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, in order to drive the total distance in 1 hour, she needs to drive the remaining 50 km in 30 min, so:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "r=d/t=50 km/(1/2)=100 km/hr\r
