she runs at a speed of 9 mph and walks back at a speed of 3 mph, how long should she plan to spend walking back?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let w = the walking time
\n" ); document.write( "the total time is given as 1 hr, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "(1-w) = running time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Walking dist and running dist is the same'
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation; dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3w = 9(1-w)
\n" ); document.write( "3w = 9 - 9w
\n" ); document.write( "3w + 9w = 9
\n" ); document.write( "12w = 9
\n" ); document.write( "w = 9/12 = 3/4 hrs walking back \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
