153 A boat traveled upstream a distance of 90 miles at an average speed of (v - 3) miles per hour and then traveled the same distance downstream at an average speed of (v + 3) miles per hour. If the trip upstream took half an hour longer than the trip downstream, how many hours did it take the boat to travel downstream?
(A) 2.5 (B)2.4 (C) 2.3 (D) 2.2 (E) 2.1 根据条件,列出(v-3)*(x+1.5)=(v+3)*x 得出v=4x+3 带入90/(v-3)=x+1.5 得出一个二次方程, 但是这个二次方程没有整数根,只能用求根公式算。 不知道这样解题对不对,总感觉这样算有点慢。 请指点。谢谢。  |
