Algebra.Com's Answer #431569 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Thomas rowed upstream at 6 mph and downstream at 12 mph. If Thomas rowed for three hours, how far was his entire trip, upstream and downstream? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Let d = the distance up or down stream \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "write a time equation, time = dist/speed \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "time up + time down = 3 hrs \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "multiply by 12 to clear the denominators, find d, total dist = 2d \n" ); document.write( " |
