An aircraft carrier made a trip to Guam and back.
\n" ); document.write( "The trip there took three hours and the trip back took 4 hours.
\n" ); document.write( " It averaged 6 km/h on the return trip.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the average speed of the trip there.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let s = speed there
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation; dist = time * speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Dist there = return dist
\n" ); document.write( "3s = 4(6)
\n" ); document.write( "3s = 24
\n" ); document.write( "s = \"24%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 8 km/hr, the trip there
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check the solution by finding the actual distance, they should be equal
\n" ); document.write( "3(8) = 24
\n" ); document.write( "4(6) = 24, confirms our solution
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
