A motorist traveled 115 km on an expressway at an average speed of 92 km/h and
\n" ); document.write( " another 45 minutes on the other roads.
\n" ); document.write( " If the average speed for his whole journey was 80 km/h, how far did he travel on the other road
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let d = distance traveled on \"other road\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Change 45 min to .75 hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation: time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( "\"115%2F92\" + .75 = \"%28%28d%2B115%29%29%2F80\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "LCM of 92 and 80: multiply by 1840, results:
\n" ); document.write( "20(115) + .75(1840) = 23(d + 115)
\n" ); document.write( "2300 + 1380 = 23d + 2645
\n" ); document.write( "23d = 1035
\n" ); document.write( "d = 1035/23
\n" ); document.write( "d = 45 km on other road
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in original equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"115%2F92\" + .75 = \"%28%2845%2B115%29%29%2F80\"
\n" ); document.write( "1.25 + .75 = 2
