\n" ); document.write( "If you should drive 60km/hr, then 1km should take 1 min (60 divided by 60). Therefore it should normally take 10mins to get there.

Bus station is 10km away.
\n" ); document.write( "To catch bus before it leaves, you must travel a rate of 60km/hr by car to get there.
\n" ); document.write( " There is bad weather so you're only able to drive 30km/hr for the first 5km. What speed must you travel the rest of way to catch the bus?
\n" ); document.write( ":'
\n" ); document.write( "It will be impossible to catch the bus, AT 60 km/hr the time required would be
\n" ); document.write( "\"10%2F60\" = 1/6 hrs or 10 min
\n" ); document.write( "AT 30 km/hr the time for you to go 5km
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F30\" = 1/6 hr or about 10 min
\n" ); document.write( "Another words, you've used up the 10 min already
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
