A jogger runs into the country side at a rate of 10 mph. He returns along the same route at 6 mph. If the total trip took 1 hour 36 minutes, how far did he jog?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let d = distance one way: Change 36 min to hrs: 36/60 = .6 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "Time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation, find d:
\n" ); document.write( "Time out + time back = 1.6 hrs
\n" ); document.write( " d/10 + d/6 = 1.6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Get rid of the denominator, mult eq by 30, resulting in:
\n" ); document.write( "3d + 5d = 1.6(30)
\n" ); document.write( "8d = 48
\n" ); document.write( "d = 48/8
\n" ); document.write( "d = 6 mi one way. Total he jogged = 12 mi
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check: 6/10 + 6/6 = 1.6
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
