this morning it took armenta 45 min, to drive to work.
\n" ); document.write( "During the first half hour he traveled 25 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "He drove at an average speed of 65 miles per hour the rest of the work to work.
\n" ); document.write( "How many miles in all did Armenta drive?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let d = total dist to work
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(d-25) = dist driven at 65 mph
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Change 45 min to .75 hr
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation:
\n" ); document.write( ".5 + \"%28d-25%29%2F65\" = .75
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 65, results
\n" ); document.write( "65(.5) + (d-25) = 65(.75)
\n" ); document.write( "32.5 + d - 25 = 48.75
\n" ); document.write( "d + 7.5 = 48.75
\n" ); document.write( "d = 48.75 - 7.5
\n" ); document.write( "d = 41.25 mi to work
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this by finding the time at 65 mph
\n" ); document.write( "(41.25-25)/65 = .25 hrs plus .5 hrs = .75 hr \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
