Starting one hour later, Jonathan sets out walking at 8 km/h to overtake his little sister who averages 5 km/h. How long will it take Jonathan?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time it takes J to catch up with his sister
\n" ); document.write( "Then
\n" ); document.write( "(t+1) = time traveled by the sister
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "When J catches up with his sister, they will have traveled the same distance
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation; Distance = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "8t = 5(t+1)
\n" ); document.write( "8t = 5t + 5
\n" ); document.write( "8t - 5t = 5
\n" ); document.write( "3t = 5
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"5%2F3\" hr = 1\"2%2F3\" hr = 1 hr 40 sec
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Confirm solution by find the distances:
\n" ); document.write( "8 * (5/3) = 40/3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5 * (3/3 + 5/3) = 40/3 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
