John and Tony start from Grays lake at the same time and head for a town 10 miles away. John walks twice as fast as Tony and arrives 3 hours before Tony. Find how fast each walks?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I don't why you need a chart for this:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let s = Tony's speed
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2s = John's speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation: Time = \"dist%2Fspeed\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Tony's time - John's time = 3
\n" ); document.write( "\"10%2Fs\" - \"10%2F%282s%29\" = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply eq by 2s
\n" ); document.write( "2(10) - 10 = 3(2s)
\n" ); document.write( "20 - 10 = 6s
\n" ); document.write( "s = \"10%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 1\"2%2F3\" mph is Tony's speed
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "2 * 1\"2%2F3\" = 3\"1%2F3\" mph is John's speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":

\n" ); document.write( "10/1.67 = 6,00
\n" ); document.write( "10/3.33 = 3.00
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "differ = 3.00 \r
