\n" );
document.write( "I know that he has to go an average of 40mi/hour to get there using the equation Average speed =total distance/ total time \n" );

Algebra.Com's Answer #381071 by flame8855(424) You can put this solution on YOUR website! average speed = 30 mi/hour \n" ); document.write( "average speed= total distance /total time \n" ); document.write( "30= 40mi/(x+1) \n" ); document.write( "x= 1/3 hour \n" ); document.write( "speed = distance /time \n" ); document.write( "speed = 20/1/3 = 60 miles /hour \n" ); document.write( "a speed less than 60 he will not recover\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
