A man rides a bike a straight distance at a speed of 10 miles per hour.
\n" ); document.write( " He came back the same way, traveling the same distance at a speed of 20 miles per hours.
\n" ); document.write( "What was the man's total number of miles for the trip back and forth if his total traveling time was one hour??
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let d = no. of miles one-way
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation: Time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Time there + time back = 1 hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%2F10\" + \"d%2F20\" = 1
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by 20, get rid of the denominators, results:
\n" ); document.write( "2d + d = 20
\n" ); document.write( "3d = 20
\n" ); document.write( " d = \"20%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( " d = 6\"2%2F3\" (miles one way)
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore
\n" ); document.write( "2(6\"2%2F3\") = 13\"1%2F3\" total miles
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check on a calc;
\n" ); document.write( "6.67/10 + 6.67/20 =
\n" ); document.write( ".667 + .333 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
