pimpchi: (a) Given: Speed for the journey = 380 km Total time taken for the journey = 4hours The journey was in two parts. First part of the journey was on the motorway and the second part was on the country road Let x and y represents the distance and time taken respectively for the journey in the first part (on the motorway); Therefore, the speed on the motorway is calculated as x รท y = 110 km/h x = 110y ...... Eqn 1 To get equation 2, let's find the expression for speed on the country road Distance on the country road = 380km - x Time spent on the country road = 4hrs - y Therefore, the speed on the country road = (380 - x) / (4- y) = 70km/h, 380 - x = 70(4 -y), 380 - x = 280 - 70y, 380 - 280 = x - 70y, x - 70y = 100 ....Eqn 2 Therefore, these are the simultaneous equations x = 110y ...Eqn 1 x - 70y = 100 ...Eqn 2 (b) Solving the equations; Sub for x in eqn 2 using eqn 1, x - 70y = 100, 110y - 70y = 100 40y = 100 y = 100/40 = 2.5 hours sub for y in eqn 1, x = 110y, x = 110 (2.5), x = 275km Therefore the distance covered on the motorway is 275km @pimpchi Feel free to ask questions. |
