Algebra.Com's Answer #336159 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) You can put this solution on YOUR website! a boy travels with a speed of 30 kmph for first 1/3 journey time during the remaining journey time he travels with a speed 60kmph find the average speed of the boy \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Let t = total time \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "and \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Let a = average speed for the journey \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation: dist = speed * time \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "30km/h dist + 60 km/h dist = total dist \n" ); document.write( "30* \n" ); document.write( "We can cancel out the denominators \n" ); document.write( "10t + 20(2t) = at \n" ); document.write( "10t + 40t = at \n" ); document.write( "we don't care about t, divide thru by t and eliminate it \n" ); document.write( "10 + 40 = a \n" ); document.write( "a = 50 km/h is the average speed \n" ); document.write( " |
