If walking one way @ 3 Miles Per Hour and jogging back @ 5 miles per hour.
\n" ); document.write( " How many miles is traveled in 1 Hour?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let d = dist one way
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation; time = dist/speed:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%2F3\" + \"d%2F5\" = 1
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 15, results
\n" ); document.write( "5d + 3d = 15
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"15%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "d = 1.875 mi one way
\n" ); document.write( "total dist: 2(1.875) = 3.75 mi traveled in 1 hr
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check by finding the total time:
\n" ); document.write( "1.875/3 = .625
\n" ); document.write( "1.875/5 = .325
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "total time: 1 hr
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Response to Student comment,\"I don't understand why the 1.875 is the distance one way only..please help explain\"
\n" ); document.write( "I defined d as the distance one way, so the total distance would be 2d which took a total of 1 hr:
\n" ); document.write( "The equation:
\n" ); document.write( "time out + time return = 1 hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%2F3\" + \"d%2F5\" = 1
