\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What is her average speed for the entire trip from home to the hardware store and back?
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "On uphill trip, distance traveled: \"%2875%2F60%29+%2A+4\", or 5 miles
\n" ); document.write( "On downhill trip, time taken: \"5%2F12\" hr
\n" ); document.write( "Total distance: 2(5), or 10 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Total time: \"75%2F60+%2B+5%2F12\", or \"15%2F12+%2B+5%2F12\", or \"20%2F12\", or \"5%2F3\" hours\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Average speed = \"total_distance%2Ftotal_time\"
\n" ); document.write( "Average speed = \"10%2F%285%2F3%29\"______\"10+%2A+%283%2F5%29\"____\"2cross%2810%29+%2A+%283%2Fcross%285%29%29\", or \"highlight_green%28highlight_green%286%29%29\" mph \n" ); document.write( "
