Matt travels at a speed of 64km/hr, if Matt travelled at 78 km/hr he would arrive at his destination 10 Min earlier. What distance did Matt travel?
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Slower speed DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 64 km/hr ; distance = x km ; time = x/64 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Faster speed DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 78 km/hr ; distance = x km ; time = x/78 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "time - time = 1/6 hr
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "x/64 - x/78 = 1/6
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "6*78x - 6*64x = 64*78
\n" ); document.write( "86x = 64*78
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "x = 59.43 km
