In 8 minutes a go cart can travel 4 miles with the wind blowing against them. With the wind traveling with them in 8 minutes they can go 6 miles. How fast does the go cart go with no wind? How fast is the wind going?
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Against DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "time = 8 min ; dist = 4 miles ; rate = d/t = 1/2 mile/min
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "With DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "time = 8 min ; dist = 6 miles ; rate = d/t = 6/8 = 3/4 mile/min
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "Against:: c-w = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "With:::: c+w = 3/4
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Add and solve for \"c\"::
\n" ); document.write( "2c = 5/4
\n" ); document.write( "c = 5/8 mile/min (rate of the cart in still air)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"w\"
\n" ); document.write( "2w = 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "w = 1/2 mile/min (rate of the wind)
\n" ); document.write( "====================================
