\n" );
document.write( "Let t and (t + 2hr)) represent the times at 28kmph and 24kmph respectively
\n" );
document.write( "D = r*t, distances the same at both speeds \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( " 28kmph*t = 24kmph*(t + 2hr)  
\n" );
document.write( "solve for t 
\n" );
document.write( " 28kmph*t - 24kmph*t = 48km 
\n" );
document.write( "    4kmpht = 48km  
\n" );
document.write( "     t = 12hr
\n" );
document.write( "   28kmph*12hr = 336km, the distance between the villages  \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
