\n" ); document.write( "A Cyclist covers a certain distance in 3 1/2 hours.If first half of the journey is covered in 20 km/hr and the rest of the journey in 15 km/hr,find the total distance of the whole journey.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "PLease help me!!\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let total distance covered be D
\n" ); document.write( "Then time taken to cover ˝ of total distance at 20 km/h = \"%281%2F2%29D%2F20\", or \"%28D%2F2%29%2F20\", or \"D%2F40\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Time taken to cover 2nd ˝ of total distance at 15 km/h = \"%281%2F2%29D%2F15\", or \"%28D%2F2%29%2F15\", or \"D%2F30\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, a TIME equation can be created to solve for the total distance, D. This is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"D%2F40+%2B+D%2F30+=+3.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "3D + 4D = 420________Multiplying by LCD, 120
\n" ); document.write( "7D = 420\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "D, or distance traveled = \"420%2F7\", or \"highlight_green%2860%29\" km\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can do the check!! \r
