The clark family went sailing, their boat averaged 6 kilometers per hour,
\n" ); document.write( "The Rourke family took their boat out for the same amount of time and their boat averaged 14 K perhour
\n" ); document.write( " the Rourke family traveled 20 kilometers farther than the Clark family,
\n" ); document.write( "How many hour did each family spend on their boat trip?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time they were both on the water
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a dist equation; dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "R's dist - C's dist = 20 km
\n" ); document.write( "14t - 6t = 20
\n" ); document.write( "8t = 20
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"20%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = 2.5 hrs the time they were both on the water
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that adds up
\n" ); document.write( "2.5(14) - 2.5(6) =
\n" ); document.write( "35 - 15 = 20 km difference \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
