Hoi Ching drives to work in 35 minutes. If she increases her average speed by 5km/h, she saves five minutes. How far from work does she live?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Original DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "time = 35/60 = 7/12 hr ; distance = x km ; rate = x/(7/12) = (12/7)x km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "New DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "time = 30/60 = 1/2 hr ; distance = x km ; rate x/(1/2) = 2x km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "2x - (12/7)x = 5 km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "(2/7)x = 5 km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5(7/2) = 35/2 = 17.5 km (distance to work)
