You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It takes a plane 40 min more to fly from Boston to Los Angeles at 525mi/h than it does to return at 600 mi/h. How far apart are the cities?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You seem to have the correct method, however,
\n" ); document.write( "40 min = 40/60 = 2/3 hr, (not .6 hrs)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You correctly wrote an equal distance equation: Dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "600t = 525(t + 2/3)
\n" ); document.write( "600t = 525t + 350; (not 315)
\n" ); document.write( "600t - 525t = 350
\n" ); document.write( "75t = 350
\n" ); document.write( "t = 350/75
\n" ); document.write( "t = 4.6667 hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "They are asking you to find the distance:
\n" ); document.write( "We will use decimals here:
\n" ); document.write( "4.6667 * 600 = 2800 mi
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution using the speed of 525 mph
\n" ); document.write( "525(4.667 + .667) = 2800 mi also\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
