Check the picture below.

$\textit{internal division of a line segment using ratios} \\\\\\ T(-5,9)\qquad U(9,2)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from T to U}}{5:2} \\\\\\ \cfrac{T\underline{V}}{\underline{V} U} = \cfrac{5}{2}\implies \cfrac{T}{U} = \cfrac{5}{2}\implies 2T=5U\implies 2(-5,9)=5(9,2)$

$(\stackrel{x}{-10}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{18})=(\stackrel{x}{45}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{10}) \implies V=\underset{\textit{sum of the ratios}}{\left( \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of x's}}{-10 +45}}{5+2}~~,~~\cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of y's}}{18 +10}}{5+2} \right)} \\\\\\ V=\left( \cfrac{ 35 }{ 7 }~~,~~\cfrac{ 28}{ 7 } \right)\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} V=(5~~,~~4) \end{array}}$

Kirby is four miles from the train station, from which a train is due to leave in 56 minutes. Kirby is walking along at 3 mph, a

Luda [366]

Let's assume that Kirby walks with a speed
$v_1 = 3 mph$
for a time $t_1$ , and that he runs with a speed
$v_2 = 12 mph$
for a time $t_2$ .

The total time available for Kirby to catch the train is:
$t=56 min = 0.93 h$
and this must be equal to the sum of the two times t1 and t2:
$0.93 = t_1 + t_2$

The distance Kirby should cover is
$S=4 m$
and this should be equal to the sum of the distances covered by walking and by running:
$4 = S_1 + S_2 = v_1 t_1 + v_2 t_2 = 3 t_1 + 12 t_2$

So we have a system of 2 equations:
$0.93 = t_1 + t_2$
$4 = 3 t_1 + 12 t_2$

If we solve the system, we find:
$t_1 = 0.80 h = 48 min$
$t_2 = 0.13 h = 8 min$

So, Kirby needs to run at least for 8 minutes in order to catch the train.
