Problema Solution
a man travels a total of 244 miles in 7 hours. He travels on bike at rate of 43 mph and on foot at 5 mph. how far did he travel on foot
Answer provided by our tutors
miles/hour * hour = miles
the reference to 244 miles in 7 hours is not relevant since miles per hour is provided for traveling by bike and on foot, hence there is no means to determine how 244 miles was traveled since 244/7 is approximately 35 mph and that has nothing to do with biking or walking
so solve for the distances traveled by bike and foot:
43 * 7
5 * 7
---------------------
simplify both equations for miles
---------------------
301
35
He traveled 35 miles on foot and 301 miles on bike.
