\n" ); document.write( "In the 1st 1/2 hr, \"+d+=+200%2A.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "In the last 1/2 hr, \"+d+=+100+\" also
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2100+-+200+=+1900+\" mi is flown at
\n" ); document.write( "the other constant speed
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1000+-+100+=+900+\" mi near the end of the trip is
\n" ); document.write( "covered in \"+2+-+.5+=+1.5+\" hrs
\n" ); document.write( "\"+900%2F1.5+=+600+\" mi/hr is the
\n" ); document.write( "other constant speed
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+t+\" = time of flight except for the 1st
\n" ); document.write( "1/2 hr and last 1/2 hr
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1900+\" is the miles covered at \"+600+\" mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1900+=+600t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+3.1667+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3.1667+%2B+.5+%2B+.5+=+4.1667+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.1667%2A60+=+10+\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is 4 hrs and 10 minutes for the entire flight
\n" ); document.write( "Hope I got it!
