8. You jog at 9.1 km/h for 5.0 km, then you jump into a car and drive an additional 13 km.

\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let s = average speed in the car
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation, time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( "bike time + car time = total time
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F9.1\" + \"13%2Fs\" = \"18%2F25\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F9.1\" + \"13%2Fs\" = .72

\n" ); document.write( "5s + 9.1(13) = 9.1s(.72)
