Algebra.Com's Answer #323020 by ptaylor(2198)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Distance (d) equals rate (r) times time (t) or d=rt; r=d/t and t=d/r\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Time it takes to travel 10 kilometers at 30 kilometers per hour: \n" ); document.write( "t=d/r=10/30=1/3 hour=20 min \n" ); document.write( "Time it takes to travel 30 kilometers at 15 kilometers per hour: \n" ); document.write( "t=d/r=30/15=2 hours \n" ); document.write( "Total time for the trip=20 min + 2 hr=2 hr 20 min\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Time it takes to travel 40 kilometers at 20 kilometers per hour: \n" ); document.write( "t=d/r=40/20=2 hours \n" ); document.write( "Total time for the trip =2 hr \n" ); document.write( "Ans: 2 hr 20 min minus 2 hr=20 min \n" ); document.write( "It takes him 20 min longer\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps--ptaylor\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
