Algebra.Com's Answer #349070 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! amglea made a trip by bus in 16hours and the return trip by car in 20 hours. the bus traveled 10 times faster than the car. How far was the trip? \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "b = bus speed \n" ); document.write( "c = car speed \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "b = 11c \n" ); document.write( "d = 16*11c = 20c \n" ); document.write( "c = 0 \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "There's no solution. If the bus is 11 times as fast, it would take 1/11 of the time, not 16/20. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
