Problema Solution

An athlete running at 6 mph and later cycles at 20 mph completed a 90 mile course in six hours and 15 minuets. How far did she cycle and how far did she run

Answer provided by our tutors

d = r*t

t = d/r

d/6 + (90-d)/20 = 6.25

10d + 3(90-d) = 375

7d + 270 = 375

d = 15 miles running

75 miles cycling
