\n" );

\n" );
document.write( "D = r*t, distances the same, 13/4 hr =  3.25hr
\n" );
document.write( "Let t and (3.25hr-t) represent the times at 8kmph and 5kmph respectively
\n" );
document.write( " 8kmph*t = 5kmph*(3.25hr-t)  
\n" );
document.write( "solve for t 
\n" );
document.write( "    13kmpht = 5kmph*3.25hr
\n" );
document.write( "         t = 5*3.25/13kmph 
\n" );
document.write( "         t = 1.25hr    
\n" );
document.write( "   8kmph*1.25hr = km, the distance walked at 8kmph  
\n" );
document.write( "The total distance walked entirely = 20km
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );

\n" );
