A car completes a 10 mile trip in 20 minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "If car does 1/2 of trip at speed 20 miles/hr,
\n" ); document.write( "At 20 mph he completes 5 mi in 15 min; (5/20 = .25 hrs which is 15 min)
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "he has to complete 5 mi in the remaining 5 min
\n" ); document.write( "What is the correct speed for remainder of distance?
\n" ); document.write( "speed = dist/time; 5 min = 1/12 hr
\n" ); document.write( "s = \"5%2F%281%2F12%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 5 * 12
\n" ); document.write( "s = 60 mph to complete 5 mi in 5 min
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this, find the dist at each speed (dist = time * speed)
\n" ); document.write( "15 min: 1/4 * 20 = 5 mi
\n" ); document.write( "5 min: 1/12 * 60 = 5 mi
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "total dist 10 mi \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
