<PRE><B>Question 433161</B>
 Ivanna can jog to work in 3/4 of an hour. When she rides her bike, it takes her 1/3 of an hour. If she rides miles 9 per hour faster than she jogs, how far away is her work? 
------------
Jogging DATA:
time = 3/4 hr; rate = x mph ; distance = rt = (3/4)x miles
--------------
Riding DATA:
time = 1/3 hr; rate = x+9 mph ; distance = rt = (1/3)(x+9) miles
-------------------
Equation:
distance = distance
(3/4)x = (1/3)(x+9)
Multiply both sides by 12 to get:
9x = 4x+36
5x = 36
x = 36/5 = 7 1/5 miles (distance to work)
