\n" ); document.write( "The president of a company traveled 1800 mi by jet and 200 mi on a prop plane. The rate of the jet was four times the rate of the prop plane. The entire trip took 8 hr. Find the rate of the jet
\n" ); document.write( "
Let rate of jet be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then rate of prop plane = \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+%281%2F4%29S%2C+or%2C+S%2F4%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "So, we now get the following TIME equation: 
\n" );
document.write( "\"matrix%281%2C3%2C+225%2FS+%2B+100%2FS%2C+%22=%22%2C+1%29\" ---- Multiplying by LCN, 8
\n" );
document.write( "225 + 100 = S ----- Multiplying by LCD, S
\n" );
document.write( "S, or \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C6%2C+Rate%2C+of%2C+jet%2C+%22=%22%2C+325%2C+mph+%29%29\" \n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
