What is the average speed of the whole trip? \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "Find the total time for the round trip. \n" ); document.write( "d = r*t \n" ); document.write( "t = d/r \n" ); document.write( "t = d/80 + d/120 \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "Total distance = 2d \n" ); document.write( "RT avg = 2d/t \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "RT avg = 2*80*120/(80 + 120) \n" ); document.write( "= 96 km/hr \n" ); document.write( " |
