Шаги решения

Given Time:

trip 1 : \frac{1}{6}

trip 2 : 3.5

Given Distance:

trip 1 : \frac{1}{3}

Represent the speed in terms of

x :

trip 1 : x

trip 1 Speed x Time \frac{1}{6} Distance \frac{1}{3}

Write an equation for trip 1Distance = Speed

\cdot

Time

\frac{1}{3} = x \frac{1}{6}

Решите для

x, \frac{1}{3} = x \cdot \frac{1}{6} : x = 2

speed : 2

Represent the distance in terms of

y :

trip 2 : y

trip 2 Speed 2 Time 3.5 Distance y

Write an equation for trip 2Distance = Speed

\cdot

Time

y = 2 \cdot 3.5

Решите для

y, y = 2 \cdot 3.5 : y = 7
