Rodney Racer averages 90mph in the first lap of a race.
\n" ); document.write( " How fast must he go in the second half in order to average 120mph for the whole race?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let s = speed required to average 120 mph
\n" ); document.write( "d = one lap distance
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation; time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%2F90\" + \"d%2Fs\" = \"%282d%29%2F120\"
\n" ); document.write( "reduce the third fraction
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%2F90\" + \"d%2Fs\" = \"d%2F60\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 180s to get rid of the denominators, results
\n" ); document.write( "2ds + 180d = 3ds
\n" ); document.write( "simplify, divide by d
\n" ); document.write( "2s + 180 = 3s
\n" ); document.write( "180 = 3s - 2s
\n" ); document.write( "180 = s
\n" ); document.write( "He has to run 180 mph to average 120 for the two laps
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
