Part of the process:
\n" ); document.write( "From 8AM, less important than \"whole journey took 11 and 1/4 hours\", which included the 1/2 hour break. Total TRAVEL TIME was \"10%263%2F4\" hours.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Part A, i and ii, and focusing on time quantities, not time points
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Let b be the distance traveled by bus.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "              SPEED        TIME           DISTANCE\r\n" );
document.write( "TRAIN          50          (700-b)/50      700-b\r\n" );
document.write( "BUS            75           b/75            b\r\n" );
document.write( "Total                      10.75           700\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Most of the work can now be done in one variable.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28%28700-b%29%2F50%2Bb%2F75=10%263%2F4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "and you can solve the equation...
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
