Carl and Brad are both driving to a frisbee game from Carl's house.
\n" ); document.write( "Brad gets to the field first in x hours. His average speed while driving was 52.3 mph.
\n" ); document.write( "Brad DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "time = x hrs ; rate = 52.3 mph ; distance = 52.3x miles
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Carl took 40 minutes longer and had an average speed of 46.7 mph.
\n" ); document.write( "time = x+(2/3) hrs ;rate = 46.7 mph ; distance = 46.7(x+(2/3)) miles
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "How long did it take Carl to get to the field?
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = distance
\n" ); document.write( "52.3x = 46.7x + 46.7(2/3)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "5.6x = 46.7(2/3)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5.56 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Carl's time: 5.56 + (2/3) = 6.23 hrs = 6 hrs and 14 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "================
