a boy walked into the countryside at a rate of 5 mph and returned over the same route on a bus traveling at 30 mph.
\n" ); document.write( "the entire trip took 4 1/2 hours.
\n" ); document.write( "which equation could you use to solve this problem?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let d = the one-way distance
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation; Time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Walk time + bus time = 4.5 hrs
\n" ); document.write( " $\"d%2F5\"$ + $\"d%2F30\"$ = 4.5
\n" ); document.write( "You can multiply thru by 30 and find d easily, from that you can find the time walking and time riding \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
