<u>Answer:</u>

The total time taken to complete 25 miles is 7.6 hours.

Solution:

Ben walks 5 miles in 1 hour,

Second 5 miles in 1.4 hours,

Third 5 miles in 1.7 hours,

Last 5 miles in 1.8 hours

So he walked total 20 miles in (1+1.4+1.7+1.8) hours = 5.9 hours = 6 hours (approximately)

So his average speed is \left(\frac{20}{6}\right) miles/hours = 3.33 miles/hours.  

i.e. he travels 3.3 miles in 1 hour,

Then, he travels 1 miles in \left(\frac{1}{3.3}\right) hours

Hence the total time he will take to walk 25 miles is \left(25 \times\left(\frac{1}{3.3}\right)\right) \text { hours }\Rightarrow \left(\frac{25}{3.3}\right) \text { hours } = 7.5757 hours

That is approximately 7.57 or 7.6 hours.
