Answer:

Trip A from House to Shed is   0.062 km

Trip B from Shed to School is   4.47 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a table (attached) that summarizes and organizes the data.  Let A be the distance from the hosue (I assume) to the shed, and B the distance from the shed to the school.  We know that distance = (speed)*(time).

The total time for a trip is the sum of the two segments, A and B, divided by the speed for each segment.

                             <u>   TRIPS    </u>

                <u>  1 </u>     <u> 2 </u>  

House/Shed A 6     18   km/hr

Shed/School B 15     27   km/hr

              18'30"    10'10"   min

                18.5     10.16   min    

              0.308   0.169   hr        [Convert the minutes into hours]

[The distance divided by the speed will give the time required for each segment, A and B].  

Trip 1:  1)  A/6 + B/15 =   0.308    

Trip 2: 2)  A/18 + B/27 = 0.169

<u>Trip 1: </u>  A/6 + B/15 = 0.308

            A + (6/15)B = 1.85    [Multiply each side by 6]

              A = 1.85 - (6/15)B     [Rearrange]

             A = 1.85 - (0.4)B       [This will be the defination of A we'll use in the second equation]

<u>Trip2:</u>     A/18 + B/27 = 0.169

    (1.85 - (0.4)B)/18 + B/27 = 0.169   [Use A= 1.85 - (0.4)B from above]

   27(1.85 - 0.4B)/18 + B = 27*(0.169)   [Multiply each side by 27]

   1.5*(1.85-0.4B) + B = 4.58

   2.78 - 0.6B + B = 4.58

    0.4B = 1.85

                                      <u>B = 4.47 km</u>

<u></u>

Now use  B = 4.47 km in either original equation to find A.

A/18 + B/27 = 0.169

A  + (18/27)B = 18*(0.169)   {Multiply both sides by 18]

A  + (0.67)B = 3.042

A  + (0.67)(4.47) = 3.042

A  + (2.98) = 3.042

                                    <u>A = 0.062 km</u>

Trip A from House to Shed is   0.062 km

Trip B from Shed to School is   4.47 km
