document.write( "Question 8822: A car travels at 40 km/h for 30 min and 60 km/h for 15 min. How far does it travel in this time? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #4863 by George(3)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation that describes the distance that car has travelled for specific period of time is: U(t)=S(t)/t, U(t):speed(km/h) | \n" ); document.write( " S(t):distance(km)| we firstly convert min \n" ); document.write( " t: time(min) | to hr \n" ); document.write( "In our problem, S(t1)=U(t1)*t1 \n" ); document.write( " =>S(t1)=40*0,5=20km \n" ); document.write( " S(t2)=U(t2)*t2 \n" ); document.write( " =>S(t2)=60*(1/4)=15km \n" ); document.write( "So the final distance travelled is S=S(t1)+S(t2)=20+15=35km \n" ); document.write( " |
