Since the time taken to make a trip is distance / speed we can calculate \n" ); document.write( "time = 270 / LeonSpeed = 330 / PatSpeed. We also know that PatSpeed = LeonSpeed + 10. Putting that into the equation, we have \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "We solve for LeonSpeed. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "So, \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Checking 220/45 = 330/55 = 6.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
