John and his brother go to a mountain. John wants to know how far the mountain is from their home.His brother says,“If we go 6 kilometers an hour,we can get there at eleven o'clock.If we go 4 kiloweters an hour,we can get there at 12:30.”
问题:Can you tell how far the mountain is from John's house?

If you premise the distance between the mountain and John's house is "X" km(kilometer)
You will have a expression,like this:
X/4-X/6=1.5
resolvent: X=18(kilometer)
So, the answer is 18 kilometer!

设出发的时间为X 然后根据题设列出方程:
(11-x)*6=(12.5-x)*4
解得 x=8
可以知道他们出发的时间为8点
由任意一个条件就可以得知山离他们的房子18公里

设距离为x千米
x/4-x/6=1.5
x=18km

距离为18千米
