K takes less time than M to travel a distance of 30 miles. K travels 1/3 mile per hour faster than M. If x is K's rate of speed in miles per hour then find K's time for the distance in terms of x
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = K's rate of speed
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "This problem you must apply the \"distance formula\":
\n" ); document.write( "d = rt
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "d is distance
\n" ); document.write( "r is rate or speed
\n" ); document.write( "t is time
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "For, k to travel 30 miles:
\n" ); document.write( "Solving the formula for t:
\n" ); document.write( "d = rt
\n" ); document.write( "t = d/r
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "K's time:
\n" ); document.write( "t = 30/x hours (I believe this is what the problem is asking for)
