Answer:
30 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Walk rate = 88 paces/ minute
Average length of pace = 0.875 m
Time taken to walk 2.31 km ;
The distance in metres :
1000 m = 1 km
2.31 km = (1000 * 2.31) = 2310 m
Recall :
Time taken = distance / speed
Distance walked in a minute = 88 * 0.875 = 77 m
Time taken = 2310 / 77
Time taken = 30 minutes
X + y = 23000
x.08 + y.09 = 2040
x = 23000 - y
(23000 - y) .08 + y.09 = 2040
1840 - .08y + .09y = 2040
Simplify
.01y = 200
Simplify
Y = 20000
X + 20000 = 23000
X = 3000
CHECK: .08x + .09(20000) = 2040
.08x + 1800 = 2040
Simply .08x = 240
X = 3000
0.77 is the answer to your question
