Jane can sail upstream in a river at an average rate of 4 miles per hour, and downstream at an average rate of 6 miles per hour. If she starts at 10:00 A.M, within what period of time must she turn around if she is to return to her point of depature between 6:00 P.M and 8:00 P.M?
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the avg speed of a round-trip.
\n" ); document.write( "It's 2*4*6/(4+6) = 4.8 mi/hr regardless of the distance.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "From 10 to 6 = 8 hours --> RT distance = 38.4 miles, 19.2 miles each way.
\n" ); document.write( "19.2 mi/4 mi/hr = 4.8 hours = 4:48
\n" ); document.write( "1000 + 4:48 = 1448
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "From 10 to 8 = 10 hours --> RT distance = 48 miles, 24 miles each way.
\n" ); document.write( "24 mi/4 mi/hr = 6 hours
\n" ); document.write( "1000 + 6 = 1600
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "She has to turnaround between 1448 and 1600, or 2:48 and 4:00
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
