Шаги решения

Given Time:

trip 1 : 312

trip 2 : 5

Given Distance:

trip 1 : 258

Represent the speed in terms of

x :

trip 1 : x

trip 1 Speed x Time 312 Distance 258

Write an equation for trip 1Distance = Speed

\cdot

Time

258 = x \cdot 312

Решите для

x, 258 = x \cdot 312 : x = \frac{43}{52}

speed : \frac{43}{52}

Represent the distance in terms of

y :

trip 2 : y

trip 2 Speed \frac{43}{52} Time 5 Distance y

Write an equation for trip 2Distance = Speed

\cdot

Time

y = \frac{43}{52} \cdot 5

Решите для

y, y = \frac{43}{52} \cdot 5 : y = \frac{215}{52}

Преобразуйте неправильные дроби в смешанные числа:

\frac{215}{52} = 4 \frac{7}{52}
