Problema Solution
a jogger runs 4 miles per hour faster downhill than uphill if the jogger can run 5 miles downhill in the same time that it takes to run 3 miles uphill find the jogging rate in each direction
Answer provided by our tutors
Downhill rate: x+4
Uphill rate: x
The equation is
5/3 = x+4/x
So
x = 6
So
Downhill rate: 10 mph
Uphill rate: 6 mph
