a ship sails from ny to england at 33 mph and a plane starts at the same time at 605 mph.
\n" ); document.write( " The plane arrives in england 104 hours less time than the ship.
\n" ); document.write( " How far is it from ny to england
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let d = dist from NY to England
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation: time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Ship time - plane time = 104 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%2F33\" - \"d%2F605\" = 104
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by 19965 (33*605)
\n" ); document.write( "605d - 33d = 19965(104)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "572d = 2076360
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"2076360%2F572\"
\n" ); document.write( "d = 3,630 miles
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in original equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3630%2F33\" - \"3630%2F605\" =
\n" ); document.write( "110 - 6 = 104 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
