\n" ); document.write( "a 200 km trip was made by canoeing at 5km/h and cycling at 30 km/h. if the total time of the trip was 15 hours, find the distance traveled by each
\n" ); document.write( "

Let distance canoeing be D
\n" );
document.write( "Then distance cycling = 200 – D
\n" );
document.write( "Time spent canoeing: , and time spent cycling was: 
\n" );
document.write( "With total time being 15 hours, we get:  
\n" );
document.write( "6D + 200 – D = 450 --------- Multiplying by LCD, 30
\n" );
document.write( "6D – D = 450 – 200
\n" );
document.write( "5D = 250
\n" );
document.write( "D, or distance canoeing = , or  km
\n" );
document.write( "Distance cycling: 200 – 50, or  km \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
