Jenna has just enough money to rent a canoe for 1.5 hours. How far out on a lake can she paddle and return on time if she paddles out at 2 kph and back at 4 kph?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Out DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 2 km/h ; time = x hrs ; distance = r*t = 2x km
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Back DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 4 km/h ; time = 1.5-x hrs ; distance = 4(1.5-x) km
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "distance out = distance back
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 4(1.5-x)
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 6-4x
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1 hr
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: distance out = 2x = 2*1 = 2 km
