\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Assuming that the speed is the same in both trips, the time \"t\" under the question can be found from the proportion\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"644%2F14\" = \"184%2Ft\".       (*)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t = \"%28184%2A14%29%2F644\" = 4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Notice that both sides in the proportion (*) represent the velocity.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Which is the same in both cases, according to the assumption.\r
