1. a man cover a distance of 6 km at the rate of 4km/h & cover a distance of 4 km at rate of 3km/h .
\n" ); document.write( " what is his average speed?
\n" ); document.write( "The total distance traveled: 10km
\n" ); document.write( "let a = the average speed for the trip
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation, time = distance/speed
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2F4\" + \"4%2F3\" = \"10%2Fa\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply equation by 12a to clear the denominators, resulting in:
\n" ); document.write( "3a(6) + 4a(4) = 12(10)
\n" ); document.write( "18a + 16a = 120
\n" ); document.write( "34a = 120
\n" ); document.write( "a = 120/34
\n" ); document.write( "a ~ 3.53 km/hr is his average speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2. the average marks obtained by 120 candidate is 35.
\n" ); document.write( " if average marks of pass candidate is 39 and that of fail candidate is 15, what is the number of candidate who passed in examination?
\n" ); document.write( "let p = number that passed
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(120-p) = number that failed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%2839p+%2B+15%28120-p%29%29%29%2F120\" = 35
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 120
\n" ); document.write( "39p + 15(120-p) = 120(35)
\n" ); document.write( "39p + 1800 - 15p = 4200
\n" ); document.write( "39p - 15p = 4200 - 1800
\n" ); document.write( "24p = 2400
\n" ); document.write( "p = 100 passed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You should check these solutions in the original equations.
