A man bikes from A to B at 20 km/h. He returns by car at 60 km/h. The bike trip is 2 hours longer than the car trip. How far is it from A to B?
R D T = Method X The distance is always filled in by multiplying the rate and time. 20 Bike 20(x + 2) x + 2 Car 60 x 60x Distances are equal.
20(x+2) = 60x 20x+40 = 60x -20x -20x 40 = 40x 40 40 1 = x
A man bikes from A to B at 20 km/h. He returns by car at 60 km/h. The bike trip is 2 hours longer than the car trip. How far is it from A to B?
R D T = Method X 20 Bike 20(x + 2) x + 2 Car 60 x 60x What does x represent? What represents distance?
If x=1, distance is: 60x=?? 60x=60 20(x+2)=?? 20(x+2)=60
The answer is: 60 km
Problem #2 on Worksheet 61
Vince bikes for 2 hours at 18 km/h. Then he rides by car for 3 hours. His total distance is 246 km. How fast does the car travel?
None of those. It’s this one: The distances add up to the total distance.
R D T = Method X The distance is always filled in by multiplying the rate and time. 36 2 18 Bike 3 3x x Car 246
36+3x = 246 -36 -36 3x = 210 3 3 x=70
R D T = Method X 36 2 18 Bike 3 3x x Car 246 What does x represent?
Vince bikes for 2 hours at 18 km/h. Then he rides by car for 3 hours. His total distance is 246 km. How fast does the car travel?
The answer is: 70 km/h
Problem #3 on Worksheet 61
Cindy bikes from A to B at 20 km/h. She returns by car at 80 km/h. The bike trip is 3 hours longer than the car trip. How far is it from A to B?
R D T = Method X The distance is always filled in by multiplying the rate and time. x+3 20 Bike 20(x+3) x 80x Car 80 Distances are equal.
20(x+3) = 80x 20x+60 = 80x -20x -20x 60 = 60x 60 60 1=x
R D T = Method X x+3 20 Bike 20(x+3) x 80x Car 80 What does x represent?
Cindy bikes from A to B at 20 km/h. She returns by car at 80 km/h. The bike trip is 3 hours longer than the car trip. How far is it from A to B?
The answer is: 80x= 80(1)= 80 km
Problem #4 on Worksheet 61
Judy can bike 2 km/h faster than Linda. They travel in opposite directions for 2 hours. They are then 68 km apart. How fast is each girl traveling?
R D T = Person X The distance is always filled in by multiplying the rate and time. 2 Judy x+2 2(x+2) 2 2x Linda x 68
2(x+2)+2x = 68 2x+4+2x = 68 4x+4 = 68 -4 -4 4x= 64 4 4 x=16
R D T = Person X 2 Judy x+2 2(x+2) 2 2x Linda x 68 What does x represent?
x=Linda’s rate of speed x= 16 km/h x+2=Judy’s rate of speed x+2= 18 km/h
THE END
